Ali Horriyat Ep 1 - Redux ... "He gave it all away … over $100 million dollars worth."

from Max's Island · host Tony Hagan

In 2016, businessman-turned-charity founder Ali Horriyat gave away his entire personal fortune of almost $100m. This was not just a meaningless distribution of cash to satisfy an ego charged desire for personal fulfilment, but it came from a real belief in a better way to shift the social impact dial. He is one of the great moral and social thinkers of our time. In this episode we re-visit his story from 2 years ago and use it as an example of the antithesis what’s happening in the world today. I hope to take the time to reflect on what Ali did and relate this to the current actions of others.
