February Purpose Hour

Building Bandwidth: Leadership, Innovation, and Civic Change

Explore the intersection of innovation, entrepreneurship, and civic engagement with Dan Caruso, one of the tech industry’s most visionary leaders.

Dan will share insights from his new book, Bandwidth: The Untold Story of Ambition, Deception, and Innovation That Shaped the Internet Age and Dot-Com Boom, which chronicles the rise, fall, and rebirth of the telecommunications industry and its profound impact on how we connect and collaborate as a society. Bandwidth is available now for Pre-Orders on Amazon and on Barnes & Noble. Copies of his new book will be available for purchase and signing following the event.

In this moderated discussion, we’ll consider:

• Civic Engagement in Entrepreneurship: How leaders can align innovation with societal impact through mentorship, education, and partnerships with local governments.
• Economic Development: The critical role entrepreneurs play in job creation, urban revitalization, and fostering community resilience.
• Lessons from the Tech Revolution: What the boom-bust-rebirth cycles of telecommunications can teach us about the future of AI, blockchain, and quantum technologies.

This Purpose Hour is an opportunity to learn how ambition and innovation can drive not just business success but also lasting positive change for communities.
