So, let\'s say that you had a great idea for a commercial product or service that ultimately grew into a fairly large, sustainable and profitable company. Would you be the type of founder entrepreneur who would step back and say to yourself, "I wonder how we might give back some of the success we\'ve had to help solve some of the world\'s more important problems?"

Lucky for everyone, that is exactly what the folks that started Tableau Software have done through the Tableau Foundation. In this, the 127th episode of the Terms of Reference Podcast, I speak with Neal Myrick and Steve Schwartz. Neal is the Director of Social Impact at Tableau Software and Director of Tableau Foundation. Steve the Marketing Manager for Tableau Software\\u2019s Social Impact efforts and supports the Tableau Foundation\\u2019s work. Steve is also a co-founder of Upaya Social Ventures, a nonprofit incubator that is building businesses and creating jobs in India\\u2019s poorest communities.

Specifically, we focus our conversation on how Tableau has partnered with PATH to create the VisualizeNoMalria campaign, and how Tableau\'s software contributes to this campaign through data analysis and visualization support.

I spoke with Neal and Steve in Seattle Washington.
