Investment banker and philanthropist John Studzinski began his charitable life at the tender age of six when he opened a soup kitchen with his Catholic mother. She had been a nurse during WW2 and as he says in this interview it is sometimes easier to meet Christ 'in service', especially as a child.
He went on to work in banking, becoming one of the first practising Catholics to enter Morgan Stanley. He is now vice-chairman of global investment firm PIMCO as well as founder and chairman of the Genesis Foundation, supporting artists in their careers. His charitable work has led him to work with the last four Popes.
He's a firm believer that time and not money is the greatest gift we have and his new book A Talent for Giving about entrepreneurial philanthropy is available this September.
In this episode of The Profile he talks to Premier Christianity Editor Sam Hailes about his early life, his near death experience aged just 31 and how we can use money to bless other people.
