I grew up the son of a fisherman and we didn’t have much. There were also many years that I slept in my car and on the streets.

Today I run an international company that’s thrived for over thirty years.

But I didn’t get here by outworking or crushing the competition.

I got here by caring about the people in my life and work, my employees, my vendors, my distributors, and even my competitors.

Givingism is the philosophy behind my unlikely success. And it came built on a solid foundation of 19 principles which remind us to make decisions through care so that everyone prospers.

And I'm not talking about charity or self-sacrifice.

This is a fundamentally different way of doing business and life,

where giving to others doesn’t cost you but actually multiplies everything.

Because when you help others prosper, you prosper more.
