Bob DePasquale joins us today to share how he helps families plan financial goals that incorporate great giving strategies. Bob’s strategy is not just about buying that yacht, but it's also about doing good in the world.

Bob, shares what led him to want to do business that will initiate impact, and the tools and tricks, and tips he gives clients to help them both plan for their financial wealth and be good in the world.

Episode Highlights:

• The personal journey that led Bob to see the importance of doing good.

• Instilling generosity and translating your passion in your own story to supporting families.

• The importance of having core values. 

Bob DePasquale Bio:

Bob’s generosity journey started at age 18 when he was diagnosed with cancer and experienced the tragic events of 9/11 in just a few short days.  He wouldn’t be around to speak about if it weren’t for some amazing acts of generosity.

Bob realized the powerful force that the giving mindset is after experiencing his life-threatening illness and the terrorist attacks.  He spent 15 years learning how to apply giving principles in his own business and it is now his mission to help others do the same.  Organizations that have a generous culture are bound to attract better employees and better customers.
