Broad-based #employeeownership is something I talk about a lot on this platform because it works and it's something our economy desperately needs. It’s the right thing to do, and it also happens to be smart business. Last week I had the opportunity to talk about this on stage at TED Global in Vancouver. The whole conference was enlightening and invigorating – so many inspiring ideas and so much optimism. Thank you Chris Anderson, Helen Walters, Corey Hajim and the whole team at TED Conferences for the opportunity. It was an honor to be a part of this forum.
