On this episode, host Adam Fisch sits down with Sharna Goldseker, the founder and vice president of 21/64, a non-profit practice serving next gen and multigenerational philanthropic families. Sharna has also been named to the New York business journal’s women of influence list. Sharna is the co-author of the award-winning best seller, Generation Impact: How Next Gen Donors Are Revolutionizing Giving.
