The Power of Pages: How Books Inspire Philanthropy and Innovation

In this thought-provoking episode of What We’ve Been Waiting For – Unedited, host Antoinette Wolf explores how books have shaped global thinking around philanthropy, innovation, and social impact. Centering the conversation around The Next Day by Melinda Gates, Antoinette reflects on how the book challenges traditional ideas of giving, equity, and leadership—and how it personally inspired her as a mother, former corporate executive, and now a mission-driven entrepreneur and philanthropist. She also shares insights behind her own books, Do Your Job and Waking Up and Walking Away, which focus on protecting families, building legacy, and finding power in truth and wellness. Whether you’re an investor in people, a believer in books, or a change-maker in progress, this episode invites you to think bigger, give smarter, and rise with purpose.Now streaming on Spotify, Apple, iHeartRadio, and all major platforms.
