Journey To Impact
Everyone has the ability to make a difference, but how does one ensure they are using their unique passions, gifts and talents to create the greatest impact possible? Oftentimes taking the first step can be the biggest hurdle in one's journey to impact and knowing which direction to take can become overwhelming. Journey To Impact will explore the variety of routes one can navigate on their personal impact journey through a variety of topics focusing on impact investing, philanthropy, social enterprise, donor advised funds, and much more so that you can begin to strategically impact your neighborhood, community, or even the world! Your guide on this journey is Ed Gillentine.
