In a recent video interview Bill Gates did with CNET , he talks about this work with his foundation, what’s getting him fired up and how to tackle some of these bleak challenges facing the world today.

I find it interesting just to sit and watch this man talk, such an unassuming guy that I’ve really not seen a lot of in close and personal videos.  You have to almost remind yourself that ‘oh ya, this is one of the most powerful men in the world’.

Caught this talk from Bill Gates this week and although he may not be the most inspiring or poetic of speakers he is perhaps the most influential man in our lifetimes and that alone puts me in a state of awe to listen to. A man that can forever change the world perhaps more than any other single person alive has a mind that needs to be tapped to it’s fullest.
