In 2010, known eugenicist and phony philanthropist, Bill Gates, started a chartity vehicle called The Giving Pledge with the intention of collecting money from wealthy people when they die, instead of allowing it to be passed down to future generations. In over 15 years, they have convinced 256 people to agree to participate, but the actual conversion percentage is single-digit. They claim these resources will be used to finance projects such as criminal justice reform, early childhood education, medical research, women's empowerment, and environmentalism, but given the heavy eugenics involvement of those at the top, it makes it difficult to trust their mission.

15 years ago, some of the world's wealthiest promised to give away at least half their fortunes through the Giving Pledge. Over a decade later, how much have they really given? In this episode, we unpack a recent update on the pledge, explore why many billionaires fell short, and discuss why real change can't wait for the ultra-rich. Instead, we share how communities and everyday people can drive impact now and why the power to shape the future might be closer than we think.Check out the link below to read the article referenced in this episode:https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/07/giving-pledge-buffett-gates-billionaires-philanthropy.htmlSupport the showLove the podcast?

What happens when you inherit billions to give away, but the weight of that responsibility threatens to define you more than your own dreams? And how do you honor a grandfather who was simultaneously the “father of fracking” and one of America's most passionate environmentalists?Welcome to The Business of Giving. I'm your host, Denver Frederick. Today we examine next-generation philanthropy with Katherine Lorenz, Executive Director of the Cynthia and George Mitchell Foundation and co-founder of the Giving Pledge Next Gen initiative.Katherine's family preserved decades of intimate conversations with her grandparents—a treasure trove of philanthropic wisdom. But her path wasn't predetermined. Working with indigenous farming communities in the mountains of Oaxaca, she experienced a revelation that would reshape everything.This is a conversation about wrestling with paradox, building authentic peer networks, and discovering that sometimes the most powerful philanthropy comes from embracing life's contradictions.

Investment Lessons from Warren Buffett Warren Buffett, often called the “Oracle of Omaha,” has long been considered one of the greatest investors of all time. His recent announcement that he will step down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway after more than six decades is the perfect time to reflect on what sets Buffett apart, not just as an investor but as an individual. This episode digs into key lessons from Buffett's life and career, exploring practical ways to apply his wisdom to your financial journey. From Humble Beginnings to Monumental Success Warren Buffett's rise didn't begin in a Wall Street boardroom, but in Omaha, Nebraska, where he was born in 1930. From an early age, Buffett showed an affinity for entrepreneurship, selling chewing gum, Coca-Cola, and magazines as a child. His formal education at the University of Nebraska, Wharton Business School, and Columbia University (where he studied under the legendary Benjamin Graham) laid the foundation for his value investing philosophy. Buffett started his first investment partnership in 1956 with $105,100, much of it from family and friends. By the age of 32, he was a millionaire. His acquisition of Berkshire Hathaway, a struggling textile company at the time, became the launchpad for one of the most successful investment conglomerates in history. The Power of Modesty and Discipline Despite amassing unparalleled wealth, Buffett is renowned for his modest lifestyle. He still lives in the house he purchased in 1958 for $31,000 and drives an older model Cadillac, proving that frugality and comfort often go hand in hand. This modesty is more than a quirk; it's a testament to his belief that wealth should serve a purpose beyond personal extravagance. Buffett's philanthropic efforts are equally legendary. Through The Giving Pledge (co-founded with Bill and Melinda Gates), he's committed to donating more than 99% of his fortune. For Buffett, investing is not just about making money, it's about stewarding resources responsibly and generously. Berkshire Hathaway's Long-Term Outperformance Under Buffett's leadership, Berkshire Hathaway's stock has delivered returns averaging 19% annually since 1966, trouncing the S&P 500's historical average of 11%. One share of Berkshire's Class A stock now costs nearly $800,000, a figure that tells the story of sustained outperformance. Buffett has also issued Class B shares at a lower price tag to democratize access for smaller investors, reflecting his desire to make wealth-building accessible. Buffett's Top Investing Lessons 1. Don't Lose Money Buffett's two most famous rules are simple: “Rule number one: don't lose money. Rule number two: don't forget rule number one.” He emphasizes buying quality businesses with durable competitive advantages rather than taking risks on struggling firms with unsustainable dividends. 2. Start Early and Stay the Course In his book The Snowball, Buffett likens investing to rolling a snowball down a long hill: the earlier you start, the bigger the results. Even if you're approaching retirement, encouraging the younger generation to invest early can yield enormous benefits over time. 3. Remaining Committed Through Market Ups and Downs is Equally Vital Buffett urges consistent investing, especially when markets are turbulent. Staying invested and buying during downturns can lead to significant long-term gains. 4. Be Fearful When Others Are Greedy Buffett's contrarian mindset, being “fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful”, has served him well during market panics. While it's emotionally taxing to buy during selloffs, history shows that long-term investors are often rewarded. 5. Buy Great Companies at Fair Prices Rather than chasing bargains, focus on acquiring well-run businesses at reasonable valuations. Many of Buffett's best investments, Apple, Coca-Cola, and American Express, embody this approach. 6. Focus on Buying and Holding Low-cost Index Funds Buffett believes this is the simplest and most effective long-term investment strategy because it provides broad market exposure while keeping fees to a minimum, both of which are important for building wealth over time. 7. Temperament Is Key According to Buffett, success in investing is more about temperament than IQ. The ability to remain rational and stick to your plan, regardless of market noise, is what separates great investors from the rest.

Warren Buffett, seguramente el inversor más famoso del mundo, anunció el sábado pasado que se retira como presidente de Berkshire Hathaway. Deja en el cargo a Greg Abel, que irá gradualmente haciéndose cargo de la compañía hasta finales de este año. Buffett, que tiene 94 años y es la sexta persona más rica del mundo según Forbes, es uno de los inversores más influyentes de la historia muy conocido por su filosofía de inversión en valor. Nació en Omaha, una pequeña ciudad de Nebraska, y desde niño mostró gran habilidad para las finanzas. A los siete años, inspirado por un libro que acababa de leer, comenzó a vender chicles, revistas y periódicos, y a los 14 compró una granja con sus ahorros. A los 11 realizó su primera compra de acciones siguiendo el ejemplo de su padre, que era corredor de Bolsa y congresista. Aunque no tenía demasiado interés en ir a la universidad, se graduó en la universidad de su Estado natal y luego fue a Columbia, donde se convirtió en discípulo de Benjamin Graham, autor de un libro que le marcaría mucho: “El inversor inteligente”. Este libro y las enseñanzas personales de Graham, padre de la inversión en valor, dieron forma a su manera de pensar e invertir. La inversión en valor consiste en comprar acciones por debajo de su valor priorizando fundamentos empresariales y añadiendo un margen de seguridad, principios que Buffett adoptó con su famosa regla número 1: nunca pierdas dinero. Tras trabajar en la agencia de su padre y en la de Graham, fundó Buffett Partnership en 1956 con 100.000 dólares que le proporcionaron familiares y amigos. Empezó a aplicar la llamada estrategia de “colillas de cigarrillo”, es decir, empresas muy baratas pero que estaban infravaloradas. Consiguió rentabilidades excepcionales y se convirtió en millonario con sólo 32 años. Fue en esa época cuando comenzó a comprar acciones de Berkshire Hathaway, una empresa textil en pleno declive. En 1965 tomó el control, una decisión que luego calificó como su peor error. Pero sobre ese error inicial construyó un acierto. Transformó Berkshire en un inmejorable vehículo de inversión, abandonó la industria textil y se concentró en los seguros. El flotante de las primas de seguros, un capital a muy bajo coste, impulsó el crecimiento de Berkshire en los años siguientes. Influenciado por su socio Charlie Munger, Buffett fue afinando su estrategia. Compró empresas enteras y entró en el accionariado de compañías de primera línea con ventajas competitivas como Coca-Cola, American Express, Apple y la principal empresa ferroviaria del país, la Burlington Northern Santa Fe. Admitió, eso sí, algunos errores y mostró gran humildad reconociendo que había perdido la oportunidad de invertir en tecnológicas como Google o Amazon. Como filántropo, fundó The Giving Pledge en 2010, comprometiéndose a donar el 99% de su fortuna, principalmente a la Fundación de Bill y Melinda Gates.

Today's guest, our 200th guest on the Hoffman Podcast, is Brad Keywell. As you'll soon hear, Brad is expansively curious and always moving toward more aliveness. An entrepreneur, investor, professor, author, artist, philanthropist, and Hoffman graduate, he shares his personal experience of the Process with us. In addition, Brad reflects upon the Hoffman Process through his lens of entrepreneurship and his essentially curious nature. Brad sees life as two forks in the road:  one of curiosity (fully alive) and the other of stagnation (not yet dead). While he says these are extremes, Brad suggests it is important to know which fork we find ourselves on and then consciously consider if we're happy where we are. For Brad, this choice is to live the path of being fully alive. He suggests that the Process is a tool to help us grow in greater aliveness, curiosity, and vulnerability. We can consciously choose to continue to move forward into a life of greater aliveness and expansive curiosity. Join us in celebrating Brad and his journey to and through the Hoffman Process. We are grateful for this conversation with Brad and Drew. We hope you enjoy exploring the nature of change, curiosity, and a life of more aliveness.

Welcome to the Good Tidings Podcast with host, Larry Harper, Founder of the Good Tidings Foundation. This podcast is all about highlighting the good in people and what individuals are doing to make an impact in this world. On today's episode, Larry sits down with a Good Tidings “OG” Lisa Sobrato Sonsini. This podcast highlights Lisa's involvement right from the start to get the Good Tidings Foundation formed as an official non-profit charity. The best part about their happenstance meet up was that Larry did not know of her family's philanthropic history. The discussion continues where Lisa describes her grandmother Ann who gained renown as the “Mother of Silicon Valley”—one of the most successful developers in what has become the leading technology region in the world. Then Lisa shares how her father took his mother's vision in combining a profitable business that equally gives back to the community. Sobrato Philanthropies mission is to partner with communities to meet immediate needs, address systemic barriers, and pursue social justice to build a more equitable and sustainable world. Her family has now gone on to sign The Giving Pledge, founded by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, where they will give away all of their wealth to charity during their lifetime.

Beyond finance, he has led major philanthropic efforts, including the Prostate Cancer Foundation, FasterCures, and the Milken Center for Advancing the American Dream, set to open this year.

This is episode (9) of our special nine-part series entitled Connect The Dots. Our hosts Julie Flakstad & Dr. Taz Bhatia welcome serial entrepreneur, visionary and dedicated philanthropist Sara Blakely. As the founder of Spanx, a now billion-dollar global brand that revolutionized women's apparel and, more recently, Sneex, the world's first high-heel sneaker, Sara shares her midlife journey as a time of transformation and growth. She highlights the importance of mindset, intuition, and carving out moments for self-connection, all of which have guided her major decisions in life, including selling Spanx. She also gives valuable advice + insight on how to embrace fear and stay connected to one's "why" - especially in midlife.Here are some key themes + takeaways …Midlife as a "Chrysalis":  Rather than seeing midlife as a crisis, Sara sees it as a transformative period of shedding, growth and inner reflection, where ego-driven motivations give way to purpose-driven ones driven more by spirit.The Power of Visualization: Sara shares her approach on visualization where she focuses on creating mental space for her mind to wander, daydream and allowing ideas to surface naturally.Connecting with Intuition: From an early age, Sara explains how she learned to connect with herself, embrace intuition and manifest what she wants. She talks openly about her ongoing process of becoming intentional and clear about key decisions as well as asking the universe for specific signs to guide her.Overcoming Fear: “The only way to overcome your fear, is to do it,” Sara says, explaining that continues to be committed to saying YES to challenging situations that could be embarrassing. Embarrassing situations become funny, vulnerable stories, she explains, and these experiences make us more resilient and allow us to embrace our imperfections.Struggling with Perimenopause: Sara opens up about her own vulnerable experience and confusion dealing with perimenopause including extreme hormone fluctuations, sleep struggles, massive weight fluctuations and severe emotional lows. Philanthropy and Purpose-Driven Work: Passionately dedicated to empowering women, she talks about her personal, and at times playful, approach to philanthropy, including lending out her wedding dress to women during COVID, creating a "wedding dress sisterhood."About Our Guest, Sara BlakelySara Blakely is a serial entrepreneur and the visionary founder of Spanx, a brand that revolutionized women's shapewear by turning her personal frustration with traditional hosiery into an innovative solution. Beyond her business, Blakely is committed to empowering women globally through her Sara Blakely Foundation, and became the first female billionaire to join the Giving Pledge, promising to donate at least half her wealth to charity. Today, she continues to inspire as an investor on Shark Tank, a frequent speaker, and a champion for women achieving their dreams, all while aiming to create the world's most comfortable high-heel shoe, Sneex.Connect with Our Hosts and Conversation Partner!Sara BlakelySpanx  Sneex Sara Blakely FoundationSpeakingModern Elder Academy   Instagram: @sarablakely Julie Flakstadhttps://julieflakstad.com/ Instagram @julieflakstadFacebook @thejulieflakstadDr. Taz BhatiaYouTube: @DrTazMDInstagram: @drtazmdWebsite: doctortaz.comOrder The Hormone Shift book HEREPractice - Centre Spring MD: https://centrespringmd.com/ Tune in next Wednesday, 11/20, when we drop our bonus episode to this special (9) part series, called “Stronger Together” with Womaness co-founders, Sally Mueller and Michelle Jacobs.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: We've renamed the Giving What We Can Pledge, published by Alana HF on July 1, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. The Giving What We Can Pledge is now the 10% Pledge! We cover the why (along with our near-term plans and how you can help!) below. TL;DR: The name change will help us grow awareness of the pledge by reducing brand confusion and facilitating partnerships. We see it as an important part of reaching our goal of 10,000 pledgers by the end of 2024. You can help by adding the orange diamond emoji to your social profiles if you've taken the 10% Pledge! (or a small blue diamond emoji if you've taken the Trial Pledge) as described below. Full post: For the better part of a year, Giving What We Can has been thinking more deliberately about how our brand choices could accelerate or hinder progress towards our mission of making giving effectively and significantly a cultural norm. One topic that has consistently surfaced is the name of our primary pledge. While we think the "Giving What We Can Pledge" accurately captures the spirit we want to cultivate and the message we want to portray - that many people can afford to give more significantly - we've also identified some issues. We've noticed people referring to the Giving What We Can Pledge by all sorts of names (the income pledge, the lifetime pledge, the pledge, the giving all we can pledge, and the give what you can pledge, to name just a few) which leads to confusion and reduces "stickiness." On that note, we've noticed people confusing the Giving What We Can Pledge with other similarly named pledges (like the Giving Pledge for billionaires, for example). We've also realised that having our organisation name in the title of the pledge can make it difficult for other organisations to easily promote it. Above: An internal slide from our name-change deliberations We considered several alternate names, had many healthy debates within our team, and surveyed over 30 key stakeholders from across the world and the effective giving ecosystem. The result? We are delighted to announce that the Giving What We Can Pledge is now the 10% Pledge! What will this help us achieve? As we announced at EAG London, we're aiming to reach 10,000 active 10% pledgers in 2024 and we have ambitions to grow to 100,000 and eventually, to 1 million pledgers and beyond. To achieve these ambitious goals, we need a name and a brand that can achieve saturation. We think the 10% Pledge could get us there because: It's short It's easy to say, remember, and understand It can be hosted by partner organisations (more on this below!) It has the potential for "stickiness" and increasing awareness, especially with the addition of the orange diamond symbol! Above: 1. Benefits of renaming to the 10% Pledge 2. Our vision of the diamond logo at work How can you help? If you've taken the 10% Pledge (formerly known as the Giving What We Can Pledge), we'd be grateful if you could add the "small orange diamond" emoji to your name on your social media accounts. (If you've taken the Trial Pledge, you can instead add a small blue diamond emoji.) We're hoping that seeing several 's across social media will cause people to be curious about what this signifies and lead them to learn more. It would be ideal to also add a statement like "10% Pledge #XXXX with @GivingWhatWeCan" or "I've taken The @10percentpledge) to give to effective charities" to your bio so those who do want to learn more can easily find out about it! (Note: You can look up your pledge number on our updated members page) And if you want to help the diamond emoji be even more visible for launch week, consider posting with the phrase "I've taken the #10PercentPledge because..." It would be exciting to see social media light up with these types of posts! More broadly, whether or not you've taken a pled...

In this episode: building a giving framework, the giving pledge, compound impact, donor advised funds, and different ways to give. Is it better to give to charity in a lump sum versus incrementally? What are the tax implications of donating? What are the benefits of using donor advised funds? This week we answer these questions and more with the help of Rebecca Herbst and Jack Lewars as we discuss charitable donations and effective giving while on the FI journey. A large part of FI is taking actionable steps to improve your life, but this journey also opens up opportunities to improve the life of others. While navigating donations while on the path to FI can seem tricky because we are so focused on attaining our FI numbers, there are still many ways you can give back and make a difference. Creating the habit of effective giving can help you leave an impact on yourself and the world at large! There are many resources available that can help calculate what you can give while remaining on the FI track, as well as help you see how your donations are making a difference!  Rebecca Herbst & Jack Lewars: Yield and Spread: yieldandspread.org Rebecca's Coaching Program: Coaching for do-gooders 1 For The World: 1fortheworld.org Jack's LinkedIn: Jack Lewars Timestamps: 1:37 – Introduction 4:24 – The Giving Pledge 11:59 – Building A Framework And Effective Giving 23:20 – Should You Get To FI Before You Give? 33:12 – Compound Impact 39:48 – Feedback From Giving And Fun Funds 51:08 – Different Ways To Give 61:09 – Donating Appreciated Stocks 66:59 – Conclusion Resources Mentioned In Today's Episode: Join Your Local ChooseFI Group “The Life You Can Save: How to do your part to end world poverty” by Peter Singer School of Hard Knocks “Practical Ethics” by Peter Singer GiveWell The Life You Can Save “Die With Zero: Getting All You Can from Your Money and Your Life” by Bill Perkins Yield & Spread's DAF Series “Doing Good Better: How Effective Altruism Can Help You Help Others, Do Work that Matters, and Make Smarter Choices about Giving Back” by William MacAskill Subscribe to The FI Weekly!

What if we could harness the power of the internet to make kindness go VIRAL? That's the topic of this conversation with Chris Anderson -- Chris has run TED (of the famous TED talks) for the last twenty years, and recently wrote a book called "Infectious Generosity", which seeks to understand the nature of human kindness, and find ways to make it spread in the digital age. A crucial issue in these divisive times!

Bryan Johnson is a successful entrepreneur, investor, and visionary thinker - and now, based on his incredibly popular age reversal Blueprint here - is now an icon in the age reversal and longevity communities. His recent foray into incorporating longevity science into his Blueprint includes results such as: 5.1 yrs epigenetic age reversal Slowed pace of aging by equivalent 31 years Now aging slower than the average 10 yr old Ideal muscle & fat (MRI) 50+ optimal clinical outcome biomarkers 100+ markers < chronological age Several fitness tests = 18yr old Body runs 3°F cooler He is perhaps best known for co-founding Braintree, a payments company that was sold to PayPal for $800 million in 2013. After the acquisition, Johnson turned his attention to developing the next generation of transformative technologies. He founded OS Fund, a venture capital firm that invests in companies working on scientific breakthroughs to solve some of the world's most pressing problems. Johnson's passion for using technology to enhance the human experience led him to launch Kernel, a company that is building advanced neural interfaces to augment human intelligence. Kernel's mission is to create a new era of human intelligence by building hardware and software systems that can augment, repair, and improve cognitive function. Johnson believes that these technologies have the potential to fundamentally transform the way we live and work, and could ultimately help us solve some of humanity's greatest challenges. In addition to his work with Kernel and OS Fund, Johnson is also a philanthropist and supporter of various social and environmental causes. He has pledged to donate at least half of his wealth to charitable causes, and is a signatory of The Giving Pledge, a commitment by some of the world's wealthiest individuals to give away the majority of their wealth to address society's most pressing problems. In this discussion with Bryan, you'll learn how to use deep science and quantification to push the boundaries of what's possible for you in the realms of lifespan and health span.
