Cardinal Peter Turkson

I sat with Cardinal Peter Turkson, whom His Holiness tapped to lead their efforts to build the next generation of social entrepreneurs. Cardinal Turkson is the Pope's top advisor on integral human development and is helping shape the newly launched Laudato Si' Challenge - an initiative to seed fund and accelerate entrepreneurs building companies that change the world.
This interview is my first in a new series called 'Icons of Impact,' where I'll explore the human stories of today's impact icons. The people driving capital and culture to reshape our world.
