Mini Film Review: Billions in Change

The next film I want to write a little review about is Billions in Change (and this movie you can actually get free on YouTube).  It's about the Manoj Bhargava, who invented 5-hour ENERGY, and what he's done with the money he has made selling this product.

We're so used to, now, watching people make money for nothing and then basically spending it on themselves.  But this isn't the case with Manoj Bhargava who doesn't see the point on spending his money on 'stuff' and has instead decided to put it towards something a little more useful.  Manoj is putting 99% of his projects into the funding inventions which will help fix the world issues of water, energy, and health care.  He is genuinely excited by these inventions and what they could do for a planet as a whole.

It's a good reminder of what one person can do if they choose to.  I know in this case Manoj has a lot of money to give, but even the littlest actions by someone can help make a difference.  It's also great to see someone using their money for something other than just buying stuff for themselves and how genuinely happy this has made him.

You can watch the full movie here.
