(He\u2019s continued that work for other disasters, including those impacted by Hurricane Florence in North Carolina.)<\/p>\n<p>But in order to be in a position to do that, Andr\u00e9s has also continuously bet big, and learned from failures. The chef moved to the U.S. from Spain in his 20s and worked his way up to food-world icon status. After the Haiti earthquake in 2010, he joined response groups and saw that there was a need for a new kind of philanthropic effort, so he punted: World Central Kitchen\u2019s broader efforts include building chef networks in impoverished countries to train workers, fund social services, and push for other life-improving changes. For instance, in Haiti, they\u2019ve ensured school kitchens use cleaner fuels in their stoves.<\/p>\n<p>Andr\u00e9s is just one example of someone who has acted fearlessly to dramatically change the world. At its most broad, that umbrella could also include Corrie ten Boom, the first female watchmaker in the Netherlands, who put her ingenuity to use by building a hideaway for Jews seeking refuge during the Holocaust. It also envelops the very different antics of Airbnb founders Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia, who launched a company that\u2019s democratized the lodging industry and earned many more people a new source of revenue out of a moment of self-preservation: They initially offered up their own place because rent was due.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/212189234\/inarticle --><\/p>\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1622053269469-0' class=\"ad-float-left\"><script>\ngoogletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1622053269469-0'); });\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p>These examples and the universal themes they gesture toward form the thesis of a book entitled <em>Be Fearless: Five Principles for a Life of Breakthroughs and Purpose<\/em> by Jean Case, the CEO of the Case Foundation. The private nonprofit, which was formed by Case and her husband, former AOL CEO and chairman Steve Case, is not endowed but funded annually by the couple. Since 1997, it has made more than $100 million in donations to groups that primarily inspire entrepreneurial and innovative ways to make social change. As Case puts it: <em>\u201cWe like to say we invest in people and ideas that can change the world.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Which ultimately raised a pretty obvious question: Regardless of circumstance, <em>\u201cSome [people] move forward and accomplish extraordinary things while others may not,\u201d<\/em> Case says. <em>\u201cWhat\u2019s the difference?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Be Fearless<\/em>, which was released in January 2019, is built on several years of Case Foundation research to find the answer. Overall, Case believes most \u201ctransformational breakthroughs\u201d have five key elements in common, which she explores in different book chapters whose titles work like personal mantras: Make a Big Bet; Be Bold, Take Risks; Make Failure Matter; Reach Beyond Your Bubble; Let Urgency Conquer Fear.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cFearlessness is not the lack of fear, but rather the courage and the strength to overcome it,\u201d<\/em> says Case.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/90239282\/want-to-change-the-world-here-are-five-steps-to-take\">Read the full Fast Company article by Ben Paynter<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Case Foundation\u2019s CEO Jean Case\u2019s new book, Be Fearless, profiles leaders who have used their desire to solve a problem, to drown out their fears or risk of failure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[266],"tags":[125,136,134],"class_list":["post-24251","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-march-2019-foundations-and-sri","tag-additional-articles","tag-impact-investing","tag-sustainable-business"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Want to Change the World?
