Purpose-Driven Wealth with Jennifer Risher

This is part two of my interview with Jennifer Risher, speaker, investor, philanthropist and the author of: We Need to Talk: A Memoir about Wealth.

After years of feeling awkward and embarrassed about her wealth, today Jennifer has a more comfortable, healthy relationship with the money.

In this episode, Jennifer describes how she moved from feeling intimated by investment discussions – letting her husband take the lead – to becoming an informed and empowered investor.

We also discuss her path to becoming a passionate philanthropist – from initially feeling overwhelmed by the choices and pressure to ‘get giving right’ to today, an inspiring advocate for charitable giving. In 2020, Jennifer and her husband, David launched #HalfMyDAF – a concept that has moved millions of dollars to the nonprofit sector in the past three years.

This is a very honest conversation about what it’s like to come to terms with significant wealth and use it in a way that is consistent with your values and the change you want to see in the world.
