10 networking meetings. 5 Speaking Engagements. 3 Get-Together Dinners. 3 Interviews. 1 Lab Session, and a Filming. (And countless bouts of laughter, and unbridled joy. And boundless hope.) That about sums up my three days in Nashville, Tennessee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of the pandemic, The Transformational Business Network chapters (Africa, Asia and The Americas) started imagineering a future of close collaboration for our enterprise-based interventions to fight poverty and advance <\/a>human flourishing. It is unimaginable what waits to manifest when self-interest is tossed to the four winds, and a bigger vision is cast around bringing people together – across boundaries, cultures and expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But sentiment has never been known to change anything. Action does. Along this trajectory, we reached out to Belmont University\u2019s Jack C. Massey College of Business whose ethos is a reflection of our own. And an alliance – a beautiful alliance – the TBN Alliance, was birthed this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
