The 0.5% Problem: Sharon Schneider on Redefining Wealth, Values, and Giving

What happens when you realize your values guide only half a percent of your wealth while the other 99.5% operates by completely different principles? You become what Sharon Schneider calls an “Integrator.”

As founder of Integrated Capital Strategies and author of “Handbook for an Integrated Life,” Sharon works with ultra-wealthy families who’ve grown tired of the schizophrenic dance between making money and doing good. Her journey began at Foundation Source, where she helped families perfect their charitable giving while watching their investment portfolios—often 20 times larger—fund the very industries their foundations were fighting against.

Today, she reveals how Integrators are rewriting the rules of wealth. It’s Sharon Schneider on the Business of Giving.
