Social Impact Heroes: Why & How Avi Telyas of Makerhoods Decided To Change Our World

Makerhoods founder, Avi Telyas, was interviewed in Authority Magazine.

As I began describing the idea of Makerhoods, I was all too proud to extoll its innovative approach to urban design and economic development. I thought I was a trailblazer.

I revised my pitch, but more importantly, I realized that I would have to build the first project to gain more acceptance. It lengthened to time to realize the project.
