The First You Talk podcast is about taking complex problems that affect Central Floridians and guiding listeners to understand the issue in a digestible way and come out of each episode being better informed, experiencing an increase in empathy toward others, and the ability to discuss these difficult problems in a thoughtful way.

 

What makes someone a philanthropist? We dive into this topic, breaking down obstacles, misconceptions, trends and more. Learn about the giving continuum, the giving circle model, and how perceptions have evolved over time. You’ll hear from our two Chartered Advisors in Philanthropy, Mark Brewer and Nicole Donelson, plus an expert in women’s giving circles, Renuka Sastri. Finally, you’ll also hear from a philanthropist, Chris Manley, and his personal journey of giving back.
