Climate Change, Social Entrepreneurship, Start Ups, Valuing Time For Good

Through the inspiring Vladas Lasas & Rūta Kruliauskaite, I was invited to attend TEDX Vilnius 2014 to talk about Carbon War Room's work in Shipping and Islands - solving climate change as a business opportunity. Inspired afresh in 2016 by Pat Mitchell, I am honored to be invited to do a short demo of my broader mission - valuing leaders' time for good.
