What ideas are keeping you up at night? You know, the ideas you just can't shake. You have two options: do nothing, or take steps to engage the idea to see where it takes you and where you can take it. Ineza Mutimura, Co-Founder and CEO of Funders of African Descent (FOAD), acted on an idea that has grown into a global network of funders of African descent. In this episode, she walks you through the steps you can take to not only create your own community of like-minded funders, but also act on the ideas you simply can't shake.
