In this episode, Angel Williams and Jon Weiskopf have an insightful discussion around charitable giving, investing, and how to shift focus from return on investment to the impact it can create. They explore innovative ideas like charitable contribution vouchers, using profits to drive further impact and the compounding ripple effects when people are empowered.

- Invest in partners that match your values
- The ripple effects of empowering people can't be quantified
- Think about "turning on impact" rather than chasing ROI
Quotes:
"Anywhere that you can start you are making a small difference because right now there's a lot of people that say well, I can't do that. So I'm just not going to do anything." - Jon Weiskopf
"I'm in this business to create, to make profits because without profits, I cannot keep impacting." - Jon Weiskopf
