We often overlook the mountaintops and valleys endured by those who help others. For Mark Petersen, CEO of Stronger Philanthropy, those high-impact grants and dead-end disasters parallel a physical pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago. Learn from his journey the real reason we need to give back and work together.
Mark talks about:
- what the Camino is and why he chose to walk it
- how long it takes and the interesting people you meet along the way
- if we’ve lost the faith and hope that God will provide
- what we can do to give back in our everyday lives
- his book and what a philanthropist is
- how he and his family became givers themselves
- why philanthropy and pilgrimage work together
- taking things slowly and fathering people along the way
“But you can move beyond [giving being a transactional experience], to letting giving become a transformational event in your life.”
