The Hidden Philanthropist
The Hidden Philanthropist is a fresh, new podcast all about the art of giving back. It provides a platform where philanthropists can shine, inspire, encourage and lead, and can tell their stories in an interesting, informative and thoroughly entertaining format. Hosted by TV personality and property developer Andrew Purdie, this podcast features honest and authentic conversations with both household names and more anonymous philanthropists from all walks of life. The Hidden Philanthropist podcast was born as a platform to help others who, like Andrew, want to give back but are just not sure how, or where. And with more than 60,000 registered charities in Australia, and approximately 10 million charities globally, navigating this space can be overwhelming. These conversations may just provide the perfect catalyst to ignite the passion, inspiration, motivation and determination you need to fulfil the desire to give of yourself in a way that works for you. So if you are looking to begin your own philanthropic journey but are unsure where to start, or you want to learn more about the ins and outs of running a charity, this is the podcast for you. First series guests include Dr Charlie Teo, Reverend Tim Costello, Professor Miles Prince and Father Bob Maguire. Join Andrew Purdie on a journey of philanthropic discovery, where he chats openly about intentions, motivations, inspirations, and the light bulb moments that lead us to think beyond ourselves. www.andrewpurdie.com.au
