I've always been struck by his remarkable ability to get to the heart of problems and co-create empathetic, approachable solutions in complex and constrained environments. This innovative and practical toolbox is a clear reflection of this. Without a doubt, this book should be on every aspiring and practicing changemaker's bookshelf." -- NEIL BLUMENTHAL CO-FOUNDER + CO-CEO OF WARBY PARKER Book Review 2: "Greg's combined expertise in business and years of experience in social entrepreneurship around the globe give him a unique understanding of the drivers of innovation.
