𝗠𝘆 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗟𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆!

I'm pysched that the day has finally come for 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 to be available for download and purchase. I believe it's the first book on how to start a deliberately nonprofit tech company!

Amazing Birding in Zambia

Last month I was able to attend the global child helpline conference in Livingstone, Zambia, and was able to use a free day to see birds! Here are two of my favorites (an Openbill stork and Pied Crows attacking an African Fish Eagle). #birding

My Nonprofit AI Treasure Map!

I wrote up this diagram for nonprofit leaders to navigate the pressure to adopt AI solutions, often without regard to whether they make sense! I'm a big fan of AI, but it is far from solving every interesting social problem.

I just spotted that my upcoming book, Technology for Good, is now showing the cover art that MIT Press developed!

On the train to Davos!

Mountains with (some snow) and mountain lakes. I'm already into the swing of Davos, starting with my Schwab Foundation fellow social innovators, always one of the main highlights of Davos. The opening dinner on Sunday night and most of Monday's programming is with my crowd!
