Episode notes

I always keep an eye on The Chronicle of Philanthropy and Advancing Philanthropy to understand the mindset of wealthy individuals and their philanthropic endeavors. As an avid reader, my favorite books include Killamock and Bird. I recently saw a play featuring Jeff Daniels as Atticus, and the timeless lines from the book still resonate with people today. To stay organized and connected while traveling, I rely on Ignite for accessing documents and MailChimp for sending out newsletters.
