Jeffrey Goodman is an international business advisor who incorporates innovative practices into thriving mid-sized companies. This talk is about a totally different approach to charity. Giving a couple of dollars might make you feel good, but how can you leverage it to a completely different level? Jeffrey explores these concepts on the show and shares the perfect example of how you can impact someone positively, even if they’ve impacted you negatively.
