This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. How can we solve the world's problems? We can start with social enterprises...and maybe earn some money, too. Marquis Cabrera shares what the most successful social enterprises have in common.
Marquis Cabrera is the founder and chairman of Foster Skills, an award winning social enterprise dedicated to empowering foster children to become successful, productive citizens. The success of Foster Skills and the numerous awards Cabrera has since won--including the Boston Globe's Massachusetts Innovator of the Year, and Microsoft's YouthSpark Change-Maker award--has led Cabrera to become a highly sought consultant for those wishing to found successful social enterprises.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
