In this episode of the Inspireland podcast we speak to Australian born investor, philanthropist, and global citizen, Bill Liao. I initially approached Bill to speak to one of the co-founders of the Irish based CoderDojo project, a rapidly growing, volunteer led, free, coding movement aimed at children. Bill agreed immediately and we set a date. Only when I began my research did I begin to realise that Bill was about much more than just the CoderDojo project. My interview with Bill was one of the most enjoyable so far as Bill spoke with sincerity about his negative experience of the education system and the scars this left him, the racial intolerance he suffered as a child, his long search for truth, his conversion to sales, the importance of listening, and his hope to reverse climate change in his lifetime. Bill is a force of nature. His positivity and optimism drives his personal and business success but it is his commitment to his passion projects, WeForest, CoderDojo, and The Hunger Project that he hopes will be his legacy. Enjoy the episode.
