Definitely! It sounds like he has genuine interest in helping people. The story he shared on why he's drawn to social media so much, b/c of the power it has to connect people in positive and non-predictive ways, was nice to hear, especially during a time when so many others pursue social for less genuine, fad or bandwagon, incentives.

He gave similar sentiments at the beginning of his talk. He takes it as a warning when he sees someone pursue entrepreneurship primarily for the material benefit, or "effect" as he puts it. Instead, he states, their motivation should come from the passion they have for changing something, or for taking part in the journey involved in doing so.

Sure, others have said this time and time again, but being a bit skeptical of him, it was impressive to hear him say that ... he gets it.
