Description

In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, and Paul discuss: 

• Paul’s unique educational and professional journey. 
• Your unique journey of generosity.  
• Perpetual giving chains. 
• Promoting charity from the C-Suite and all levels of business. 

Key Takeaways: 

• Listen to those who have been around longer - they have seen more than you can even dream of. 
• Giving as a private company versus as a publicly traded company, is different based on who you need to get permission and justify the cost. 
• There are ways to give that can assist people in raising themselves up, and they can turn and be generous as well. 
• You’ve got to be excited about something in order to sell it properly - that includes your charity efforts. 

"Money is not all the charity - it’s also making the phone calls to those who can help more than you. Don’t ever ask someone for money for something that you aren’t sold on. But don’t ever worry about the amount of charitable giving, every little bit goes to something." —  Paul Evans
