Be Fearless

Jean Case

We need more fearless people in the world that are willing to take significant risks to help the planet and eliminate hunger and poverty for good. It takes courage for groundbreaking ideas to come to fruition since every breakthrough idea requires a desire to take risks, learn from mistakes, and step outside of one's bubble. Make a commitment to diversity and sail to unknown shores. Diversity is also a great way to ensure that you step outside your bubble. McKinsey's 2018 report found that companies lacking diversity of gender and ethnicity performed worse than more diverse companies. Furthermore, female-led businesses perform much better than their male counterparts. However, the percentage of investment capital allocated to companies founded by women and minorities is only 10 percent, despite their impressive statistics.
