Why Am I Doing This?
I've always dreamed of having my own cafe or bookstore: an inspired like Ben Franklin's Junto where great people meet, collaborate and make things happen. I dreamed this would happen years from now but it looks like it could happen sooner.
Also my wife Tunga and I have dreamed of building a community center in Sukhbaatar, Mongolia which can be both a women's empowerment center and learning center. We think this could be a wonderful opportunity to test the model.
