My good friend and teacher Harry Kraemer Jr opens his class on Managerial Leadership at Kellogg with the following instruction. "You often hear about those people who do great things, who make a difference in the world. Folks who have a great impact on the lives of other people. Well, guess what? You are those people! Because if you are not those people, then who is?" He then tells the story of Andrew Youn who came up to him at the end of the semester and said "Harry, I think I'm one of those people!" and started ONE ACRE FUND a non-profit that has put together a bundle of market-based strategies to fight rural poverty. In 2020, ONE ACRE FUND maintained essential services for 1.3 million farm families, increasing the profitability of the farmer by 39%.
