Welcome to Episode 2 of Season 3 of The R.A.C.E. Podcast. On this episode we are joined by David McGhee, Chief Executive Officer of The Steve Fund. We discuss the role of humanity and philanthropy not only in our work but throughout our lives. This conversation left me with many gems and I hope that it resonates with you.  A special thank you to David McGhee for his time, work, and passion.
