"A CEO's job is not just to have a shareholder return, it's to have a stakeholder return." - @salesforce Marc @Benioff at the @WSJ Future of Everything. YES! This is why we're building a platform to help companies source talent that will help them optimize stakeholder return.

If you are skipping over the resumes of college dropouts, first gens, and ultimately just anybody with a non-traditional background then you are crushing your companies potential because that group of individuals works harder than anyone else I’ve ever worked with.

"My parents told me to just keep my head down and work hard"- me and every AAPI immigrant who was treated poorly growing up. Amen @darrenwalker! This is is why @taaforg's work is so important to help us coalesce, claim our voice, and build bridges in our democracy. #TAAF #AAPI

YES! @TheDanaBuzz of @heronfoundation: capital allocators must #stumbleforward! There is no perfect #impactinvesting strategy. Co-create with communities, be #servantleaders, and deploy your capital already! Thanks for great insights @SonalRShah @BeeckCenter #beeckideas

I say to everyone who supported other candidates in the primary and to those who may have voted for Donald Trump in the last election: The future of our democracy is at stake. The future of our economy is at stake. The future of our planet is at stake. #DemConvention

Powerful parable by @jimsedu @bluemeridianp on the path necessary for systems change: "2 men stand by a river when babies start flowing down the river. One starts pulling babies out of the water. The other runs upstream to see where the babies are coming from." #JFFHorizons

Erik Moore @basevc on @VCInclude x @BloombergBeta's #futureofwork discussion happening now: think about what won't change post-COVID in addition to what will. Culture at work will matter even more.
