Recently, I had the chance to attend the Unreasonable Institute (www.unreasonableinstitute.org) opening night. It was an inspiring evening where 19 entrepreneurs from around the world come together for an intense six weeks. They live in the same house and are mentored by some of the countries top entrepreneurs and venture capitalists in the U.S. All this effort is to support a collective group of entrepreneurs who have one thing in common. Their pursuits are unreasonable.

They are tackling world social problems like poverty, clean water and sewage treatment. Many of their customers make less than $2 a day. The inspiration of seeing them introduce their companies and what they hope to accomplish was a "Wow!" moment. In six weeks, I have my ticket to see them again when they conclude their six weeks in the climax session.

What I learned from that session was that I am more passionate about creating value in the same vein as these entrepreneurs than others. I am more excited by solving problems than creating new venues of entertainment. It is by this principle I hope to keep myself on track as I pursue participation in the international start up community, beginning in Boulder, Colorado.
