What does listening have to do with entrepreneurship,  anyway?  All over the world people are experiencing the connection.  I’ll be interviewing some of them, and sharing their stories periodically here on the blog.

Here’s one of my favorite examples of how listening sparks innovation across the globe.  Once you glimpse what’s possible,  you can apply these principles  in any field.

This TED talk is longer than most, but the speaker has crucial  insights for those of us who “just want to help people” with our work .   I don’t want you to miss this.

Here are some highlights:
