Take Back the Land

Max Rameau is a very well spoken young man tackling some core issues of ethics and priorities within our society. He formed Take Back the Land, a grassroots activist organization, in 2006. The main goal of Take Back the Land is to allow otherwise homeless families the opportunities to feed and house themselves while they save money to move into longer-term housing by illegally occupying foreclosed, unsalable homes. PBS recently documented this groups journey. It's a very eye-opening piece. You can watch the video at the following website.

Teaching Entrepreneurship

Here's an interesting video lecture on teaching entrepreneurship. Tina Seelig is the speaker. Tina is the Executive Director of Stanford's Technology Ventures Program and she's the author of several books, including the one featured to the right. She's a little bubbly for my taste, but I like the fact that she started with a Ph.D. in Neuroscience and has transitioned herself into entrepreneurial education--I think the two fields are very related.
