"If it is to be, then it is up to me" - David Katz

They have proven to cover 14 of the 17 goals directly, and with the main focus on GOAL 1: NO POVERTY
We talk about creation of giving, abundance, providing value through our work and service to the world through entrepreneurship.
That profits and purpose can compassionately grow together.
GOAL 16: PEACE, JUSTICE AND STRONG INSTITUTIONS
Access to justice for all, and building effective, accountable institutions at all levels.
We invited Jeremy Gilley, the founder of Peace One Day to talk about Peace in the world today, and share with us his journey over the last 20 years to achieve his mission in the world.
It was in 1999, as an actor turned filmmaker, Jeremy set out to document his efforts to create an annual Peace Day. He founded the non-profit organisation Peace One Day and in 2001 the organisation’s efforts were rewarded when the member states of the United Nations unanimously adopted the first ever annual day of global ceasefire and non-violence on 21 September – Peace Day.
Today in 2020, as the UN calls on the world for acts of 'kindness' during this pandemic, Jeremy discusses how we must step into a zone of peace in ourselves, our communities and around the world.
We invited Sekou Kaalund to speak with us about Advancing Black Pathways, a program created by JP Morgan Chase that he’s directed since Day 1 in 2019. Advancing Black Pathways Initiative helps strengthen & equip black communities towards economic success and empowerment.
Sekou helps frame current issues while sharing the roots and opportunities that ultimately change a system to create an equal society - empowering the black communities.
