Helping others in remarkable ways
In this episode we talk with Larry Fingleson of The Edward Alexander Foundation about his career, finding purpose and charitable giving.
Episode 76 – Helping others in remarkable ways
Amongst a range of interesting topics, we discuss -
- Private ancillary funds and the roles that they can play in supporting good causes whilst at the same time fostering healthy discussions about money in families
- Bringing philanthropy and estate planning into the conversations with one’s clients
- Encouraging clients to give while they live so that they see the benefits that flow from their generosity.
Some great activities with charitable links that Larry mentioned were:
- Thread together – New York Marathon https://threadtogether.org/ November 2024
- Feel the magic bike ride https://magicride.com.au/
Larry also shares some interesting suggestions about reaching out to potential mentors and how to get the best out of the relationship with a mentor.
In the interview, Larry mentioned Ikigai, a profound book that he’s read lately, details of which appear below –
Ikigai, the Japanese secret to a long and happy life, by Hector Garcia and Francesc Miralles
