Ambition is not an issue for the upcoming generation: there is a clear desire to matter, and to do things that achieve impact. Dave Blanchard helps parents learn to organize and direct these desires in the lives of their teens. Outlining character traits to be successful, Blanchard provides tangible ways to build these into a student as they look to find purpose. The pathway to harnessing the energy of the rising generation and helping them steward it well is not simple or easy, especially in the face of narcissism. However, viewers will have new ideas after listening to Blanchard and will be ready to implement them right away.
Dave is passionate about encouraging Christian-led entrepreneurship that has a positive impact on society. To this end, he co-founded and leads Praxis, which works at the intersection of theology, culture, and entrepreneurship. Each year, Praxis runs its flagship accelerator programs, equipping leaders from 24 early-stage businesses and nonprofits, as well as Praxis Academy, an undergraduate initiative that works with over 50 schools. Previously, Dave worked at design and innovation firm IDEO and founded two companies in music and technology. He has a BA from Babson, an MBA & MEM from Northwestern, and lives in Manhattan, where he is part of the Trinity Grace Church community.
