MEET SOME OF THE PEOPLE
BEHIND THE MADNESS.
We are a community of social justice activists and philosophers, provocative researchers and entrepreneurs, courageous migrants and company leaders, mind boggling artists and writers, creative engineers and lawyers, curious diplomats and backpackers. We've represented the United Nations, spoken at TEDx talks, won World Championships, been featured in New York Times, Harvard Business Review, National Geographic Traveller, Fast Company and more. But more than anything - We are a family. Mad to Make A Difference.
