I’m About to talk to Matt Flannery
July 18, 2007 | by brett | Permalink
I’ve been told that when you are pursuing your passion, the excitement outweighs the nerves that you encounter when something really good can happen. Right now, something really good is about to happen.
I am on my way to San Francisco to interview Kiva.org co-founder Matt Flannery, who started a non-profit organization that I admire beyond words. What this guy has done is built one of the world’s most useful resources that allows you to lend to a specific entrepreneur in the developing world so that the third world entrepreneur will lift themselves out of poverty. Kiva offers loans that change lives, and Matt is the man responsible for building a sustainable, wildly successful business while changing the world we live in.
Long story short, I have a ton to learn from Matt, and I’m excited to see what I will learn from our conversation that will transpire in a couple hours.
Wish me luck.
