"My father showed me through his actions and example that it's important to give back to the community, beyond supporting one's family," Greg says. "I feel, through my faith, that I'm called to do more. Each of us has been blessed with unique gifts. My profession allows me to leverage knowledge and experience to help others and make a tremendous impact in the world. That's what motivates me."
"We encourage you to think differently about your money and your passion," say the authors. "To motivate you to assess what you are capable of doing to address the concerns and needs that move you... to act differently as you discover what you're actually able to do. Our goal is to get you more engaged in making a bigger and better impact on the people, causes, and organizations you care about most. In short, we hope to help you to live more and give more."
