In This Episode:
“Together the philosophy behind these strategies constitute a mind-set that will make you unstoppable.”
In this episode, I interview Kris Putnam-Walkerly on her newest book, Delusional Altruism. Hint: “Delusional” doesn’t mean what you think it means. This the perfect episode for the philanthropists and foundations who want to be more impactful and effective.
Here are a list of questions I asked Kris:
