Finding Joy with Kara

Mike Green is a Cultural Economist, Consultant, Speaker, and the Chief Strategist at The National Institute for Inclusive Competitiveness. He is the Co-founder of Common Ground: Conversations on Race in America

He is also an author of the recently released: A playbook for improving Diversity and Inclusion in Entrepreneurship Centers and of a couple of other books on how to make the world a better place (this is not the title, I am ad-libbing here because he writes collegiate textbooks on Media Innovation and Entrepreneurship, a subject where he is a global expert.

Being an expert on entrepreneurship means Mike isn’t afraid of failure. In fact, Mike Green is fearless.

When he was 12 years old, he didn’t know how to swim so he jumped in the deep end of the pool. Prophetically, He later served in the Navy for 12 years.

As a Navy recruiter, when he spoke with the young men and women he would ask them, “What do you want out of life?” The #1 answer was: I don’t know.

Mike realized that by helping young people figure out what they wanted to do with their lives, he discovered what he wanted to do with his: Mike Green helps others succeed.
