In this episode, real estate mogul and philanthropist Frank McKinney details his rise from homelessness to success. He explains his unique approach to philanthrocapitalism, addressing poverty through self-sustaining solutions. McKinney shares insights from his book 'Aspire', his future plans for homeless shelters, and his most inspiring giving moments.
How does the integration of philanthropy and capitalism redefine the traditional concept of success and giving?
This episode features Frank McKinney, a real estate entrepreneur and philanthropist. McKinney shares his journey from humble beginnings in Indiana to becoming a successful real estate developer, selling some of the most expensive houses in the world. He emphasizes the importance of philanthropy in his life. He discusses the concept of "philanthrocapitalism," which involves combining the best aspects of philanthropy and capitalism to create sustainable solutions to poverty, and through this approach, he has built self-sustaining villages in Haiti. His story illustrates how success in business, coupled with a commitment to philanthropy, can lead to a more fulfilling life.
Listen to this inspiring conversation as Frank shares how you can start giving small and make a big impact.
“Exercise your risk tolerance like a muscle. Eventually, it will become stronger and able to withstand greater pressure.”
“You marry philanthropy and capitalism together, then you can solve poverty.”
“If I can succeed in the business of real estate, that's meaningless unless I succeed in the business of life. And part of succeeding in the business of life is sharing your blessings with those less fortunate.”
