PayPal CEO Dan Schulman hosted Ross Baird on his Facebook show, Never Stand Still.

*During this episode of Never Stand Still, I had a chance to catch up with Ross Baird, president of Village Capital and a great PayPal partner. We spoke about his time working at a micro finance bank in India and how that experience led him to launch Village Capital. Ross also shared his advice for entrepreneurs, which is to focus on small innovations that can have big differences.*
