Catalysts for Change in Urban Philanthropy with Chase and Ramy

Once homeless at just 12 years old, Ramy's life is nothing short of a cinematic turnaround, hitting his first million by 17. Our conversation with him is a testament to the boundless resilience of the human spirit. Chase, who joins us, mirrors this spirit of service as we discuss their shared passion for philanthropy and their audacious project: creating a city designed to end homelessness. Their stories are not just about financial success but about the triumph of generosity and the indomitable will to make a difference.

The narrative of once-homeless individuals ascending to the helm of billion-dollar businesses is more than a rags-to-riches tale; it's a blueprint for societal transformation. Ramy and Chase detail how they're reshaping the charitable landscape through Wishes, a platform that's all about direct impact and fostering a tangible connection between donors and beneficiaries. The insights they share about adapting to a tech-centric world, as non-tech founders, are invaluable for anyone looking to stay relevant in today's fast-paced digital economy.

Our discussion rounds off with the powerful idea that one's mindset can be the biggest catalyst for success. Drawing from the principles of "Think and Grow Rich," we explore how limitless thinking can lead to life-changing projects, such as building a city for a million homeless individuals. The joy that comes from giving back is palpable throughout our talk, and the upcoming Wishes platform is poised to bring a new level of transparency and engagement to altruism. With causes close to our hearts, Ramy and Chase remind us that the true measure of success is found not just in what we accumulate, but in what we contribute.
