Cardinal Peter Turkson

Pope Francis has an ambitious goal: to redesign our global economy to serve even our most vulnerable. His vision of a new 'social economy' is one that discards and hides no one. Can he do it?

This month I flew to the Vatican to find out.

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.
