February Purpose Hour
Building Bandwidth: Leadership, Innovation, and Civic Change
Explore the intersection of innovation, entrepreneurship, and civic engagement with Dan Caruso, one of the tech industry’s most visionary leaders.
Dan will share insights from his new book, Bandwidth: The Untold Story of Ambition, Deception, and Innovation That Shaped the Internet Age and Dot-Com Boom, which chronicles the rise, fall, and rebirth of the telecommunications industry and its profound impact on how we connect and collaborate as a society. Bandwidth is available now for Pre-Orders on Amazon and on Barnes & Noble. Copies of his new book will be available for purchase and signing following the event.
In this moderated discussion, we’ll consider:
- Civic Engagement in Entrepreneurship: How leaders can align innovation with societal impact through mentorship, education, and partnerships with local governments.
- Economic Development: The critical role entrepreneurs play in job creation, urban revitalization, and fostering community resilience.
- Lessons from the Tech Revolution: What the boom-bust-rebirth cycles of telecommunications can teach us about the future of AI, blockchain, and quantum technologies.
This Purpose Hour is an opportunity to learn how ambition and innovation can drive not just business success but also lasting positive change for communities.

Taste of CiviCO//CTLF
Virtual Event; 9 am – 10:00 am
Join us for an interactive virtual gathering to experience what makes CiviCO and CTLF a uniquely powerful community for business leaders in the private, nonprofit, and civic sectors to connect and grow.
We help leaders unleash their potential by seeing themselves as designers of their leadership and life, and together, we’ll engage in a thoughtful conversation to help us think more deeply about how to create wellbeing, thriving, and abundance.
We’ll also get to know other leaders in an authentic, engaging way, while learning more about our culture and values, as well as impact-driven and community-centric opportunities and programs available through CiviCO//CTLF.
