S2E4: The Capitalist | Go Ahead and Do Things (John Raskob)

A turning point in John’s life has come. It’s during the mid-1920s when he realizes that he has become someone. With this realization comes knowing that he could make a difference in the church that he loved so much. And the biggest impact which he could have was bringing the secular business knowledge that he had gained to the church. Throughout his life and through the losses that he experienced, he and his wife were able to create a legacy. An everlasting, family charitable foundation that would make an existential impact 100 years later. If you’re wondering what kind of legacy you too can have, go ahead and do it. --- Recommended reading: "Everybody Ought to be Rich" by David Farber.
