Jarrod asks attendees to consider how global corporations’ use of sustainable business principles and social entrepreneurism could make a real difference for the next generation in impoverished nations around the world.

In 2001, Jarrod moved to Honduras to work on a ten month project. But ten months quickly turned into fifteen years, and today he directs Mission Lazarus, a non-profit organization he and his wife, Allison, founded to help communities in Honduras and Haiti seek economic sustainability and social development.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    And how is that capitalism working out for us today? And the continual equating of socialism to Communism and Russia and Venezuela ignores the comparison to a democratic socialism of the Nordic countries. And the pursuit of happiness originally was "property". Now the mask comes off and it is not about happiness. It is about money, not happiness. Even Robert Kennedy noted that there GDP is not the best indicator of a successful country. And last I would ask what class this speaker comes from.

    Capitalism does not provide prosperity for all, forever, which is required in Isaiah 9:7. I am the child Spirit identified in Isaiah 9:6, and I can provide a forgiveness system that does provide prosperity for all, forever. This type of system has never existed on earth in mankind's recorded history.

    Although what he's says is true, he is so mad at capitalism. ☠️
