As an Advisor to Monthly Design Review, it is a true pleasure to host the New York City "conversation" on the third Thursday of each month at the Salt Space.

Each month, I lock up the building around midnight and walk up Broadway to catch the subway home. Each month as I stroll through the greatest city I revel in the fact that I'm watching a new generation of creative, passionate individuals discuss how we can change our world. How we can impact our world. Positive impact.

Diverse backgrounds. Diverse skill sets. Diverse professions. We come together and wonder how we can work together. We wonder how we can influence. We discuss who we are. What drives us. Why we believe what we believe.

Each month I sit in awe as I listen to the hearts of 15 or 20 young, creative individuals passionately pursuing a life of worth. A life of impact.

We spend much time discussing why. Now I wonder how we will impact our world. Now I wonder what will we do.
