Tim Tebow’s father was at an underground pastors’ conference in a country where faith isn’t allowed. Men walked in and began auctioning four girls.

He emptied his wallet and bought their freedom. Tebow and investor Wes Lyons on human trafficking, and the industry being built to fight it.

Wes Lyons explains the number that reframes the whole problem: 90% of trafficking victims interact with healthcare, on average 15 to 18 times, before anyone identifies them. One entrepreneur they back treated that as a training problem and has trained 6,000 frontline clinicians so far. Tim Tebow argues the root is a worth problem, and traces it from Nazi Germany’s life unworthy of life to a handmade sign at Night to Shine reading royalty on board. Asked whether traffickers are better coordinated than the church, Tebow does not hedge.

Go further on this one. We are running a Human Trafficking premiere event on August 27, 11am or 6pm ET, with the entrepreneurs and investors in this fight: https://solving.org/human-trafficking-watch-party/
