He's also launching Heroes Helping Heroes, a nonprofit serving veterans, nurses, doctors, and frontline workers struggling with mental health.Dru and Sam go deep on the ROI obsession that's destroying generosity, the nonprofit transparency crisis, and why giving without expectation is the most powerful business strategy nobody teaches.
