Our VisionHolder, Leif Utne, joined us last night to share his journey from student activist in the 80s, to journalist and online community pioneer. As an editor and online webmaster for Utne Reader, he had his finger on the pulse of the emerging culture and now is helping launch Quantum Shift TV, argueabley "YouTube with a conscience".

QuantumShift TV is a web video network focused on solutions, from global warming to human rights, education to economics, medicine, technology, design, and more. With both original and user-generated content from socially-responsible businesses, non-profits, and independent producers, QuantumShift TV helps you to be the change and share the story.
