Mike had the great privilege of interviewing Hala Hanna  for the latest episode of the Disruptive Innovation podcast series. A graduate of the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, who previously worked for the World Economic Forum in Geneva, she's currently the Managing Director of Community at Solve - MIT. Between these two roles, she served as co-founder of Huloul, a social impact startup based in Lebanon, where she was born and raised during the devastating 15 year civil war. The social venture was launched to fill the void of accurate journalism during the early days of the Arab Spring.   Solve at MIT is doing a brilliant job harnessing the collective sense of purpose, good will, energy & skills of impact #entrepreneurs & social #innovators from around the world to address our planet's most critical & challenging problems. Given the unprecedented times that we currently find ourselves in, I believe that this powerful Massachusetts Institute of Technology initiative will inspire our many listeners to act on behalf of humanity during this challenging time.   Solve at MIT is supported by General Motors, Nike, Starbucks, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and many others.   To learn more about Solve at MIT after listening to this podcast, and to take action, please note:   June 18, 2020 - deadline to apply for the 5 open challenges: https://lnkd.in/eZUjUni   including the timely Health Security & Pandemics challenge: https://lnkd.in/eKn7tcZ   Learn more about joining Solve as a Member here: https://lnkd.in/eKA4aGb
