Gianmarco’s seminar on Social Entrepreneurship in Zürich, Switzerland on Thursday, November 19th, 2020: Social Entrepreneurship Seminar
Dear Friends,
Welcome to Season 2 of the podcast! I decided to give it a name change, which I share more about in the introduction to this episode.
I also share an amazing conversation with Gianmarco Marinello, who is a Social Entrepreneur, an Innovator and the Founder of the social start-up Nai Nami. Nai Nami is based in Nairobi, Kenya and gives disadvantaged youths of the Mathare Slum an opportunity to use their street skills and life stories to become Storyteller Guides who give tourists an opportunity to experience Nairobi through the eyes of a street child on an intimate walking tour through the city center. All of the youth involved with Nai Nami now have a job, earn a regular income and live a life free of crime. Nai Nami won the Traveller’s Choice Award 2020 by Viator and is rated as the #1 Tour in Nairobi on TripAdvisor. In March 2019, Nai Nami was handed over to the youths who now own and successfully run this profitable business themselves.
Over all, this is an amazing conversation for anyone who feels like they’re struggling to find their place in the world, regardless of whether you’re interested in becoming a social entrepreneur or something else. Some of the things we’ll be talking about are: transforming weaknesses into strengths, how you can make a positive difference in the world and the difference between purpose and passion. Gianmarco is an inspiring and generous individual who is all about empowering others and I so look forward to sharing his insights with you.
Enjoy the show!

EPISODE QUOTES
“How I got to where I am now…just trying out new things, being resilient, being patient and always believing that there will be the right spot for me somewhere along this journey, along this road. And I’m not giving up until I find this spot.” - Gianmarco Marinello
“Purpose is something you feel obliged to do. There is actually pressure coming from the inside… the fun part is passion: which tasks, which people, which environment is the right one…it’s easy to find out your passion, and often the purpose is hidden somewhere there. And you have to find both and then you can connect it.” - Gianmarco Marinello

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
