Barron J. Damon spends 20+ years turning nonprofit leadership, financial advising, and business strategy into one message: purposeful giving changes the giver as much as the receiver. He brings that message to stages, boardrooms, and advisor conferences.
A business parable about discovering your philanthropic why.
Marcus Ellison had everything he ever wanted but lost everything he ever needed. Barron's debut book follows one man's discovery that giving up isn't defeat — it's love in action. It's the same message Barron brings to every stage: purposeful giving changes the giver as much as the receiver.
“A beautiful story of what living a life that matters is really all about, wrapped in a page-turning tear-jerker you won't be able to put down. This book will move you, inspire you, and provide you with a plan of action for bringing immense value to the world around you! WOW!”
