Anish Patel: All it Takes is an Idea

By the age of 22, most of us consider ourselves successful if we've graduated college, possibly with a job in hand. But then there are people like Anish Patel who make most of us feel like absolute losers. Anish is graduating college in a few weeks, but instead of having a job in hand, he has a non profit that he's been running for 6 years! That's right, when Anish was just a self proclaimed sophomore nerd, he started "Uplift Humanity." It was born as a simple idea from a kid who spent summers and winters traveling to India and wanted to give back. It started with one trip to India with 15 friends who volunteered at juvenile detention centers! It has become a full fledged non-profit organization with year round programs, as well as their original summer programs, taking high school and college kids to India to work with this underserved community. Anish walks us though how this journey started, the obstacles he faced, and his dreams for the future...all the while making Akaash and myself feel really old and useless! So listen in and be inspired by a young man who had an idea and is now quite literally changing the world!
