Asheesh Advani isn't just the CEO of Junior Achievement Worldwide - he was also a participant. The program changed his life when he experienced it in middle school, and as CEO, he has guided the global NGO into more than 115 countries, involving more than 3,500 employees and 500,000 volunteers worldwide. Incredibly, JA annually serves more than 15 million young people. JA's disruptive ripple of entrepreneurship is staggering - certainly one reason why the organization has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for three straight years. Asheesh believes that those nominations have allowed JA to bring attention to the connection between the economic empowerment of youth and the overall peace and prosperity of their communities. Listen in as he shares the philosophy behind JA's fixed, flexible and freestyle framework and why embracing your naive audacity at the beginning of a new S Curve can be the way to go.
