Adam Braun: How He Started Pencils of Promise 

Will check the book out

Wow! Extremely inspirational. Thanks for another fabulous piece.

I picked the book up last week and read it. Never heard of the organization before but it looked interesting. Great read. Great organization doing such great good. The story and their work is amazing. I especially love the convergence of for-profit and non-profit to arrive at for-purpose. You can't help but be inspired. Oh, and GIVE!

He is hands down one of the most inspiring young first time authors and leaders of this generation. Thank you *****, and thank you ***** for doing this.

another brilliant angel with many like angels doing great work ... I wish for my dream to realize very soon....Kaleidoscope Kids Inc. Bless yr journies Adam & team xx

If i hadnt followed jessie lee ward rip xx wouldnt have known who gary v was and wouldnt have looked up pencils of promise and found this interview

Love the power of the internet and from connecting with some on youtube i get to hear this amazing story of chamge

Thankyou adam for having this vision and touching so many peoples lives

This is one of the best interviews i have seen so transparent and just from the heart

Yes you cant connnect the dots backwards but one day it all makes sense

Also it should teach us immense gratitude for our lives

I love that Adam asked himself the question of "Who do I want to be?" I believe this question motivates us to embark on the emotional journey of self-discovery. What makes us feel alive? What do I really care about? What do I want to put all my time and energy into? What is it that gives me purpose? I also agree that you have to be selfish in contributing a service to others, because what is the point of it all then if you don't "feel fulfilled" by all your efforts. My approach is to feel like a "glass half full" knowing that what I do is really a reflection of me and how I see myself in it. I can see myself learning, expanding and growing. I can see myself becoming a better version of myself than I was before.

Wow this breaks my heart

This is inspiring and impressive! Kudos to Adam -- amazing foresight and insight.

❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
