“Assets Happen” with Bob Fockler

Business

Americans gave away just over 484 billion dollars last year, so I wanted to know what this looks like when it’s done right.

Bob is currently the President of the Community Foundation of Greater Memphis, which, as he says, is a billion-dollar financial institution.

This is a great episode that covers:

  • Running a non-profit like a business and why that matters to steward capital well.
  • Paving your own path and leaving investment banking to take on this city’s community foundation and why he never looked back
  • Generational giving- who does well and what happens when it blows up
  • Plus, much more!

Please enjoy this week’s episode with Bob Fockler, President of the Community Foundation of Greater Memphis!
