Creating Personal, Community and Worldwide Impact Through Philanthropy With Dr. Recha Bergstrom

Creating Personal, Community and Worldwide Impact Through Philanthropy With Dr. Recha Bergstrom

Today's episode is such a befitting episode for the holiday season. It's about philanthropy. I know you could be thinking that philanthropy is only for the super-rich, but hold that thought! Dr. Recha Bergstrom, a radiologist based out of Northern California thinks otherwise. 


After Dr. Bergstrom's son was born eight weeks early, he needed to stay in NICU for six weeks. Finding a comfortable place to stay across the street meant that she was in a position to frequently visit him in NICU and had access to everything she needed. Being on the receiving end of other people's charity opened her eyes to the endless possibilities. 


Dr. Bergstrom is now the founder of The Physician Philanthropist, where she helps physicians learn how to maximize their philanthropic impact intelligently to achieve the greatest personal, community, and worldwide benefit.


In this episode, we chat about:

  • How Recha became a philanthropy educator for physicians.
  • Why you don’t need to be a billionaire to be a philanthropist.
  • Some of the biggest mistakes that people make when it comes to philanthropy.
  • How to decide where you want to start your giving journey and how you can support the causes that matter to you.
  • Why Dr. Bergstrom's course exists and what you will benefit from it.
  • What you should know as far as charitable donations and taxes are concerned.

... and so much more!
