description: This site is solely intended to share my learning in business and engaged philanthropy with like-minded people. Ideally, I will continue to build up my audience through readership and speaking gigs but since I've been writing and speaking for 30 years now, my real intention is just to share my journey. (102)

*Editor's Note: I don't know much about Endeavor but this description really strikes me. The second paragraph under the "Why" is particularly poignant. I've worked with young (would be) entrepreneurs in places like Kenya and El Salvador and it's true. That is, in countries where democracy is nominal and wealth is concentrated among few, the sense of hopelessness is real. I will look more closely into Endeavor and hope you will too.* [more]

[** 0 Comments](https://blog.thebusinessofgood.org/articles/newsletter-the-poor-pay-more#comments-listing)

It seems unfair that in America, those with the least ability to pay in fact pay more than those with sufficient means.  This is because our risk and reward system makes it easy for those serving the poor to charge more and unregulated.  This extra charge has become excessive.  It always creates a business opportunity for fair minded entrepreneurs.

The free enterprise system, like its consumers, seems now too focused on financial products and not focused enough on “making and trading”.  We are in danger of becoming insatiable gamblers.  [more]
