So with the support of the Rockefeller Foundation, starting in 2007 I began helping to bring together people around the world who share an excitement about the positive role that investment can play in addressing social and environmental challenges.
And from the day that my family arrived here, I have wanted the American people to share in our journey, to share in the history and theexcitement that makes the White House such a special landmark in this nation.
"It's my mother's engagement ring so I thought it was quite nice because obviously she's not going to be around to share any of the fun and excitement of it all - this was my way of keeping her close to it all, " he said.
Here is a proposal: Why not bring theexcitement of entrepreneurship and innovation to the National Mall and share it with the more than 30 million people from around the United States, and the world, who visit there every year?
Some of the problem of perception (and we had our share of problems and upsides too) is the fact that there are many investors who follow the latest fad and chase excitement.
