   I was totally inspired by Yunus as well. I would love to find out how i can get a downloadable podcast to send to friends i would like to inspire. His source of inspiration is the same as mine in developing the Smarter Ways to Organize Project. I especially loved his simple discovery for how to make people more courageous–talking only to groups of five or more, as his unit to communicate to! Genius and simplicity.
