Meet Dan. His TED Talk "The Way We Think About Charity is Dead Wrong," went viral less than a decade ago and was viewed by millions of starry-eyed dreamers who were intent on using their creativity and innovation to do good. [insert image of us frantically waving as some of these believers\\U0001f44b] We're talking nonprofit disruption, marketing, involving your kids in philanthropy and also working hard not to fangirl over him too much (or fanboy, if you're Jon). Join us for the convo we've been waiting to have since the first time we hit play.
