In today’s episode, we dive into the concept of philanthropy and its importance for each of our season 1 guests. Tikkun Olam is a concept in Judaism that refers to various forms of action intended to repair and improve the world. You’ll hear this theme from each of today’s guests. Whether it is Issy Sharp explaining why he has helped raise $1 billion for the Terry Fox Run or Jonathan Wener saying that the best way to live a rich life is by giving back. We explore the importance of giving to the next generation and why we are truly put in this world to make it a better place.
