2012 is the beginning of my life as a social entrepreneur. As some of you have learned, I recently won a fellowship to help launch my social entrepreneurship venture, which I call the Minyan of Thinkers. It's called the ConnectGens fellowship and it's being run by PresenTense and operated through the Jewish Federation of Greater Washington. I am a part of a community of 11 young Jewish professionals, and I am humbled by the amazing people in the group. Today we had our first seminar and it opened my eyes up to a world of social entrepreneurship concepts.
One big issue we discussed was the need to communicate our ideas to others. Normally I like to keep a low profile, stay under the radar screen, and work behind the scenes. I'm much happier that way. But now I have this idea, and I'm trying to get it started. So I've got to put myself out there.
So here I am. Rather than just launching my venture, I want to also communicate with community members about the process, the journey. It's going to be quite an uphill road, with lots of challenges along the way. And I'm going to share it all with you. The good, the bad, the ugly. I hope that this will help show the human side of this venture, that there is a very personal journey that is going along with this business venture.
