"In my world, giving and getting definitely go together, but philanthropic giving can be more rewarding than you might expect. I’m candid about the fact that when I first started my career 30 years ago, my goal was simple: I wanted to make money – and lots of it. I wanted success, the big house and a few nice toys in the garage. What I soon learned was that financial success can become surprisingly hollow. Ironically, philanthropic pursuits produce a much more satisfying return. So after spending many years focused on making money, I now spend as much – if not more – of my energy giving it away."
