"When I was poor and complained about inequality they said I was bitter; now that I'm rich and I complain about inequality they say I'm a hypocrite. I'm beginning to think they just don't want to talk about inequality."

I can’t believe that there are still rich people who are willing to get less so they can give more. We need more people like him in the world.

A real CEO that cares about employees. All CEOs should behave this way

[bradylpetersen]

I can’t imagine what it would be like to work for a company that cared about its employees

[theproficientone]

I would 100% give all my time to that CEO. He sounds like the boss we all deserve.

I've seen this dude a few times before now and fact that he's come this far is freaking amazing! He really speaks for this era and the new generation of adults/young adults who are screaming at the injustice of our system.

This guy literally looked in the mirror and asked himself 'What would Jesus do?'...

[brent]

This guy is a unicorn in the sea of Greed, corruption, racism, sexism etc!

"I did my job...we can't solve these systemic issues through private solutions."
Exactly. This is eloquently put: even when he does the right thing, it is exploited.

[kylenoe]

Now THAT'S an ethical thinking entrepreneur. He really cares you can see it in his eyes.

[LocaJBiggs]

Ultimate business chess move. If your employees don't have to worry about feeding their families as a result of something you do for them as the CEO of a company...yea....theyre going to like working for you a lot more and take pride and ownership in the role they play in making that company a success. Theyll have more mental energy since the stress of taking care of their family is greatly alleviated. The way to get more, is by giving. He might be making less money, but his company is making a lot more. Guy has galaxy brain
