 Hi, I'm David Hertz and I'm so honored to be selected as a Young Global Leader. I'm a chef and I'm a social entrepreneur that works at GastroMotiva, an organization that promotes gastronomy as social inclusion. The next generation of leaders will be people that are conscious about themselves, people who seek truth, people who live by their principles. I believe that creative minds can find innovative solutions for the current problems. We need to think out of the box. We need to create value in our work. We need to find ways to co-create solutions together. I think we are able to connect all sectors of society to be this change that the world is needing. So what we need is to inspire people to be themselves and to engage in this change. I believe the biggest challenge in our society nowadays, especially coming from Brazil, is the gap, the social gap. We have lots of opportunities to very few, but very few opportunities to the most of the population. So from my experience, what we need is to listen to the ideas that come from the base, from the poor, and empower them, give them solutions, education, find ways to empower them and make them feel connected to society, the society that is in development. We all need, we all want a sustainable living. We all want quality life, and this should be for all. But then we need to address the problem to the base in the root of the problem. So what I believe is politicians need to bring governance to the spot and what I think and I believe and I work for as the social business to become value to society. To be part of the community of the young global leaders is a fantastic opportunity to share knowledge and get to know other leaders and players who are engaged in the world. I want to learn from this community how to improve my social business model and how we can go from local to global. I really hope I can also inspire people to also invest in their community, to be in touch with their community, to inspire them to become part of our society all over the world. Let's co-create the change that we want to see in the world.
