I'm speaking with Bob DePasquale, a professional speaker, founder, and president of Initiate Impact, a wealth management firm focused on generosity.   Being generous makes everyone’s life better. It doesn’t matter if you are the giver, the receiver, or the on-looker.   Bob learned this lesson at a very young age. In fact, if it weren’t for some generous acts, Bob likely wouldn’t be here today. He has dedicated his life to teaching others about generosity's virtues and health benefits, promoting the giving mindset, and improving the world.   The Generosity Guy has worked professionally and in volunteer roles for 23 years in three different countries and in 17 states.   When Bob was diagnosed with cancer and experienced the tragic events of 9/11in New York City, he thought not only his life over but everyone else’s too. He went from feeling like an invincible 18-year-old to an unworthy victim of life.   What happened in the months and years following was truly miraculous - or was it generous? The acts of generosity he experienced saved his life.   Bob’s story is unique, but his perspective resonates with anyone who wants to enjoy their work, give to others, and positively impact the world.   Links:  bobdepasquale.com initiateimpact.com twitter.com/bdepa instagram.com/bdepa linkedin.com/in/bobdepasquale   If you're enjoying the content and finding it valuable, we would appreciate it if you could take a moment to leave us a review.
