Adam Braun is a good friend of mine, and It’s been an amazing pleasure to be a part of his organization, Pencils of Promise(I shoot all their imagery. Including the image on the screen of the girls running in this video). One of the fastest NGO’s started within the last 5 years. If you don’t know, they build schools for kids in the developing world.

I love this speech he gave on “For Purpose” at the Google Zeitgeist conference. It’s the ideal that him and I connected about in our first meeting. Give this video a watch. It will lend a little inspiration.

Take these points of Profitable Purpose:

1. Find your revolution. Find what you love most.
2. Speak the language of the person you want to become.
3. Embrace the late sleepless nights. -work when people sleep
4. Seek out the impossible ones. Believe in the impossible.
5. GTS- Google That Shit
