#24 Doing Good, Made Easy - John Gossart, Goodworld

Operating behind their charitable causes, Goodworld makes it easier to donate to any number of worthy efforts. So how did John Gossart get there in the first place? In an effort to get into college, ROTC was a way to be able to pay for it and that was his initial motivation. But the Army soon appealed to him and he signed up after graduating. He was in Kosovo in '99 and came back to the US and after 911 he was mostly deployed until '09. After leaving the Army, he was approached by a startup group with an intriguing social media concept. A chance meeting with Founder Dale got him excited about a worthy cause and, with some stability from a startup exit, he jumped in.
