Albion says he came to realize that his true gift was teaching--even though he might have been teaching the wrong things at HBS.
In talking with his colleagues at HBS, he says he realized that rather than just teaching students to make money, he wanted to teach people to do good.

His work with the group encouraged him to give back to other people in his work. He says he wanted to teach about life, and how people can merge making a living with having a life.
