Aron Solomon, CEO + Head of School, THINK Global School
One of the many stories of THINK Global School begins with Aron Solomon’s gut. Here is Aron Solomon, CEO + Head of School of THINK Global School via phone.
What Mr. Solomon leapt into, officially, is
Dave Ormesher, CEO, closerlook inc.
As I've begun this journey I've been focused on what problems people are trying to solve, what injustices people are working to overcome. I've been looking for projects so to speak. Dave Ormesher, CEO of closerlook, inc. reminded me that how something is done is just as important as what.
The ultimate mission of the health care marketing firm closerlook, says 
Mr.Ormesher, is “to change the way health care is bought and sold and delivered.”
“The theory of change I've had at closerlook for a long time is you have to touch the heart to move the mind. When change happens is when you connect your audience with life. When you can touch the heart, when you can tell a story. What we're really about is storytelling.”
The story of closerlook begins in Brehon Pub in the River North neighborhood of Chicago. I'll let Mr. Ormesher tell the story. (Please excuse the ambiance. Serendipitously enough, we were in Brehon Pub.)
Though closerlook may have roots in the weathered asphalt of downtown Chicago streets,
The Beginning
Right now people are relentlessly spending their days and nights transforming the world from the way it is into the way it should be.
When Did You Know? will tell the stories of those leaders who are changing the world in spheres like urban agriculture, food justice and micro-finance, community development, community organizing, entrepreneurship, local and independent business ownership, international development and sustainability and everywhere in between.
For the sake of transparency, this is my first blog. I don't know what the hell will happen, but this is my best guess. Each day I'll feature a leader who is pouring their heart and soul into making the world a better place and highlighting how and what they've done to change it. I can foresee a question, or perhaps two or three, coming at the end of each post.
If I'm lucky this is where you'll come along with me for all or parts of the journey. We'll have the joy of sharing our stories and successes and become more aware of the work we're doing to make the world a better place.
As with any journey there will be growth. We'll see the evolution in the storytelling, in the website itself, and in how we can use our stories to further learn how to change the world. Please enjoy. Please feel free to participate and share as our journeys unfold.
Here we go…!
