Motivations

I strongly believe in the power of personal publishing and entrepreneurship as key elements of progressive social change, which explains why my work, writing, and career are all focused on these topics. My work in evangelizing things like blogging is grounded in the belief that the best and most important use of technology is as a social communications tool.

A primary goal of my work is to encourage people, especially young people, to start and run socially-responsible businesses both for the possibility of improving their careers and for the knowledge that's gained, which informs the career paths and opportunities of even those who don't choose to remain entrepreneurs.
