Driven By with Sam Coates

“Assets Happen” with Bob Fockler


Listen Later

My guest today is Bob Fockler, former investment banker turned Community builder and asset allocator. Americans gave away just over 484 billion dollars last year, so I wanted to know what this looks like when it's done right. Bob is currently the President of the Community Foundation of Greater Memphis, which, as he says, is a billion-dollar financial institution. This is a great episode that covers:

  • Running a non-profit like a business and why that matters to steward capital well.
  • Paving your own path and leaving investment banking to take on this city's community foundation and why he never looked back
  • Generational giving- who does well and what happens when it blows up
  • Plus, much more!

Please enjoy this week's episode with Bob Fockler, President of the Community Foundation of Greater Memphis!
