Let’s Begin…

Adam Garone has an impressive moustache, and it's for a good cause. A co-founder of Movember, Garone's initiative to raise awareness for men's health -- by having men grow out their moustaches every November -- began as a dare in a bar in 2003. Now, it's a worldwide movement that raised $126 million for prostate cancer research last year.

Adam Garone was twice dismissed by the Prostrate Cancer Foundation for funding. Have you ever had an idea that you found was approached with much resistance? What do you think this story teaches us about taking risks in life for what is important to us?
