Where are you putting your intentional focus both at work and in life? 

In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, and Don discuss: 

• Where Don’s passion for building thriving communities with deep connection originates. 
• Generosity and philanthropy is more than just money. 
• Reframing thinking around philanthropy as an organization. 
• Getting clear around values and living them with intentionality. 
• Just getting started with your giving.

Key Takeaways: 

• Community change starts with childhood education. Many studies show a direct correlation between the third-grade reading level and later success in life. 
• Where much has been given, much is required. All resources belong to God, including money, talents, time, relationships, and so much more. How are you stewarding His resources? 
• There are opportunities for ministry outside of what you think. 94% of people in rental communities do not have church in their lives. 
• Safety and security come from deep community and relationships. 

"We think of living fully as the eight Fs of life: faith, family, friends, freedom, fun, fulfillment, fitness, and finance. We do a lot of work around personal development, helping people get clear, get intentional, about what they want to accomplish in their life and in their family, and giving them the tools, support, resources, training, and space to really focus on those areas besides just their career." —  Don Wenner

About Don Wenner: Don Wenner is the Founder and CEO of DLP Capital, a private real estate investment and financial services firm focused on building thriving communities. The firm’s core focus is on investing in, developing, and financing attainable housing for America’s workforces, including multifamily and single-family rental communities, along with investments in outdoor hospitality and RV campgrounds.

He originally formed DLP Capital—standing for “Dream, Live, Prosper”—as a small, residential real estate sales firm in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania, not far from Philadelphia. Within five years, he had expanded the firm to include an investment portfolio of real estate rentals along with property management. Soon after, the firm added real estate brokerage and construction affiliates and had grown to 100+ employees. 

During that time, Don Wenner also planted the seeds for more ambitious organizational goals—creating blueprints for building and scaling elite, entrepreneurial organizations for high growth and profits. The culmination of this initiative is DLP Capital’s “Elite Execution System,” which provides the tools and roadmap to help businesses achieve extraordinary growth. 

Don attended Drexel University. He resides in St. Augustine, FL and Asheville, NC with his wife and three sons. Don lives his life guided by the verse of “To whom much is given, much will be required,” Luke 12:48. In addition to pursuing his calling of building thriving communities, his passions revolve around his faith, his family, and philanthropy. Don enjoys devouring books, traveling, exercising, and spending time outdoors hiking, walking, biking, playing basketball, pickleball, and coaching his kids’ sports.
