Carlson grad: Look at biz differently

Here's what recent Carlson School of Management graduate Austin Hermann told fellow graduates -- and The Huffington Post -- about "realizing purpose" in business:

When you look at business as a way of serving, and giving, and putting others first, it becomes such a gift to the world. Fundamentally, business is people helping people. Business can be an avenue of love, business is how I can restore and redeem broken parts of this world, to do good, create value and meaning, employment and improving people's lives -- it's about solutions and growth and creativity -- that is NOT idealism -- that is what business DOES, and if I could go back and tell my freshman year self why I was in the business school that is what I would say.
