My First Million · How the Ex-Goldman CEO actually invests his own money · 16 Jun 2026 podcast

And then there were two other things that they advised, one of which is they set up a charitable foundation for you.

And they said, we expect you to do this, to use it and to give money away.

And it's good for your personal life.

And it's also good for your professional life to be thought of as somebody who gives back to the community.

And as a result of being on philanthropic boards and other things, you'll engage with a set of people that's broader than the people you might meet in your business life.

called Streetwise, Getting To and Through Goldman Sachs.

So when I wrote a memoir, it even has Goldman Sachs in the subtitle.

So I'm not going to comply with that piece of advice, but I knew where the advice was coming from.

The important thing is, and I do, I serve on boards and I do other activities and I'm interested in other stuff.
