Author of the best-selling book The Genius of the Poor and founder of Mad Travel, Tom Graham, ditched his suit and tie, and decided to live and work with the poor communities of Gawad Kalinga. There, he discovered the genius of the Filipino people and fell in love with the country.

What do a former slum area and an island paradise have in common? Tom says they both may just change your life. Tom Graham (founder of MAD Travel and author of The Genius of the Poor) flew from London to Manila on a short-term journalism assignment. Instead he found himself up and down the Philippines in search of meaning and purpose. In his search, he stumbled upon some beautiful, interesting, and unsuspecting destinations. On this episode of In Good Company, Tom shares a list of places that helped him find meaning and purpose, and ultimately changed his life. Will they change your life, too? That’s up to you.

Raf Dionisio’s job selling panty liners simply could not distract him from his longing for the outdoors. His love for the environment, knack for connecting with people, and entrepreneurial mindset have allowed him to see travel and tourism as effective and fun means for creating positive social change. Raf now runs MAD Travel with our host Tom, and The Circle Hostel, a line of budget friendly eco-hostels in the Philippines. These enterprises come together to help Raf help others through reforestation, cultural preservation, and a #ThereAreNoStrangers mindset. In this interview, Raf tells us more about: - The links between nature, poverty, and culture - Tourism as a tool for social change - Happiness and authenticity - Why the mountains on our Instagram feeds are not as nice as they may seem

Social entrepreneurs Reese Fernandez-Ruiz (founder of Rags2Riches & Things That Matter) and Tom Graham (founder of MAD Travel and author of The Genius of the Poor) have built their business out of doing good. Their stories, as featured in our previous episodes, have earned some recognition and have inspired others to follow in their footsteps. This might lead to you to think of social entrepreneurship as a high-hanging fruit. One that you either cannot possibly reach or that you should be praised for reaching. They tell us how it’s not just there to make you feel good, but how it’s not all about radical decisions and sacrifices either.   In this episode, our hosts list 5 myths and misconceptions about social entrepreneurship and doing good. Among other things, they discuss: The proper motivations for doing good Using the time, skills, and resources you already have to help make change “The entitlement of the giver” The perceived perfection of social entrepreneurs

The Philippines has a long history with colonizers. From the Spaniards in the 16th century to the Americans after the Philippine Revolution to the Japanese in World War II. So while we're welcoming to foreigners who come to visit the country for a holiday, we're wary of those who decide to stay and explore opportunities in the country. It's inevitable to think that they're here to exploit our resources and get rich off our backs. Such is the challenged faced by English journalist Tom Graham when he decided to extend his stay in the Philippines. Inspired by Gawad Kalinga Founder Tony Meloto, Tom ditched the shirt and tie and spent a few months living and working with poor people in various GK communities. There, he discovered the genius of the Filipino people and fell in love with the country. Now, Tom is a social entrepreneur and is the co-founder of a Mad Travel, a social tourism company with a mission to help end poverty in the Philippines by 2024. At a time when Filipinos are leaving the country to migrate and work abroad, you're probably wondering what keeps Tom here. Why does he keep coming back to the GK Enchanted farm every week? What does he see that millions of OFWs don't? Let's all find out in this interview.

The stated goal of Gawad Kalinga (GK) is to bring five million Filipino families out of poverty by 2024. I will spend two days in their The Enchanted Farm, which is much more than just agriculture. They have a wide range of social entrepreneurship projects, and there is also a university in the place where young people from poor families to educate themselves for free via scholarships.

Det erklærede mål for Gawad Kalinga (GK) er at få fem millioner filippinske familier ud af fattidom inden 2024. Det gør de ved at bygge huse i tusundvis af slumkvarterer rundt omkring i landet, og så på den bondegård, som jeg nu skal tilbringe to dage i. De kalder den The Enchanted Farm, men det er meget mere end blot landbrug. De har en lang række sociale iværksætterprojekter, og så er der også et universitet på stedet, hvor unge fra fattige familier kan uddanne sig ganske gratis via stipendier.  Jeg møder også Rafael Dionisio, stifter og leder af MAD Travel, der arrangerer rejser til Gawad Kalingas projekter.
