<p>It will entail learning.  Probably in the academic world and/or within an organization who is doing great things. My goal is to be trained/developed on how to implement ideas, empower teams of people, ask great questions, and be a part of practically changing the world.</p>
<p>Currently, I am studying for the GMAT and looking for scholarship opportunities to pursue an MBA at either the University of Chicago or Northwestern University within the next year.</p>
<p>Also, a group of friends and I are pursuing our first non-profit venture entitled <a title="The Prop" href="http://www.the-prop.org" target="_blank">The Prop</a>.  Our mission is to simply <em>connect people doing good</em>.  Currently we’re working to connect artists with humanitarian organizations.  For more information, <a href="http://pushingenvelopes.org/contact/" target="_self">contact me</a>.</p>
