S4E1: Michael Davidson

Michael is the CEO of Gen Next, an eclectic community of influential and purposeful leaders committed to addressing the most critical issues facing future generations. He pioneered a high impact venture philanthropy model to counter domestic terrorism, which has been featured at the White House and across Wired, Bloomberg, Axios, ABC News and more. Michael talks about a childhood visit to Russia and its transformative effect, why he doesn’t pay attention to the 24-hour news cycle, the importance of taking the long view, and how he thinks about social impact. He also discusses lessons with global perspectives, the importance of civics, his family’s recent adoption triumph, and the benefits of daily journaling and meditation. In yet another stimulating episode, Michael will make you think big-picture about the world we will leave behind for the generations to come
