BOOK: Go Where There Is No Path: Stories of Hustle, Grit, Scholarship, and Faith BY CHRISTOPHER GRAY AND MIM EICHLER RIVAS
Christopher Gray, a young African-American social entrepreneur, founder of a dorm-room tech startup has helped millions pay for college and access unprecedented opportunity. Gray was an academic star with every qualification to attend a top college, except for the financial means. He took his own road to search online and apply for every scholarship he could find. His hustle resulted in over one million. This was the inspiration for Scholly, an app that matches college applicants with millions of dollars in outside scholarships that often go unclaimed. Today, the app has four million subscribers who have won scholarships totaling more than $100 million. His premise: When you lead with the good—confronting issues such as poverty and racism—the money will follow.
PODCAST:Ten Percent Happier With Dan Harris Dan Harris is a fidgety, skeptical ABC News anchor and the last guy you would expect to have a panic attack live on “Good Morning America.” It led him to try meditation, and he went on to write his book, 10% Happier. In this companion podcast, Harris explores happiness from all angles. Guests include legendary meditation teachers like the Dalai Lama, as well as Western masters and scientists. The show ventures beyond meditation, bringing on leading researchers in areas such as social anxiety, bias, creativity, productivity and relationships. The insight of this show is that the mind is trainable. Mental traits such as happiness, calm, generosity, compassion and connection are not hardwired, unalterable factory settings. They are, in fact, skills that can be trained. On this show, you’ll learn how.
