The Lesson: Philanthropy comes in many forms, and from many faces. Whether it’s the lifestyle we try to live, the purchasing decisions we make, the parents we were born to, or the careers we’re pursuing, there’s a role for everyone in leaving the world a better place than when we found it.
Notable Excerpt: “There’re so many choices we make, and I’m not saying you have to make 1,000 choices a day that are directed towards social impact, but planting that seed in your consciousness that you want to be here on Earth as a vehicle of social change for the better really starts to, in the most beautiful of ways, affect your decision making. So while most people think of social impact as big philanthropic gifts and massive moves from your investments into impact investing, I really think about it like a lifestyle.”
