I'm a technologist by origin and by training, but I'm focused on philanthropy.

I always had the old-school model that I'm going to work for as long as I'm relevant and focus on for-profit activities and someday when I retire I'm going to learn about philanthropy.

So my degree was in political science, which I think was - the closest I could come to marketing is politics.

My most difficult class at Harvard Business School would have to be finance.

My charitable donations go to educational efforts, such as Teach for America, Vanderbilt University, Berkshire School.

Interest in business ethics courses has surged, and student activities at leading business schools are more focused than ever before on making business serve long-term social values.

Entrepreneurial education in grades K-12, if it exists at all, still focuses on teaching potential entrepreneurs small business entrepreneurship - the equivalent of 'how to run a lemonade stand.'

I got more out of the farm than Harvard Business School.

I didn't go to a business school. I didn't really study it.

Increasingly, I'm inspired by entrepreneurs who run nonprofit organizations that fund themselves, or for-profit organizations that achieve social missions while turning a profit.
