Vishen Lakhiani wants to find the next NAS Daily and tell positive human stories that mainstream media ignores. A single viral video with 10 million views can transform someone's life, and countries like Kenya get far more coverage of bad news than good.

My goal in life is to go find the next NAS Daily and tell their story. And I think if you just make a video about somebody and you get them 10 million views about their story, this can change their life forever. And I just think that there's a lot of stories around the world that nobody's paying attention to. And I just found that as an opportunity. It's a loophole. A journalist only cares about Kenya when there's a bomb attack, right? Does a journalist ever go to Kenya to highlight a Kenyan entrepreneur? Did the ever mainstream media in America know where Kenya is on the map until there's a terrorist bomb attack? And if it's relevant to them, they definitely care. What I'm trying to say is for every story about a bomb attack in Kenya, there's a thousand stories about a heartwarming improvement in Kenya. So we need a thousand stories for every one negative story. And I just think that right now it's like a thousand negative stories for zero positive stories. That's the hole I want NAS Daily to fill. I'm loving it.
