Event Details

Tom Hsieh is a happy man – and he busts all myths about the American Dream.  Guided by faith, he gives more than half his lucrative salary every year to address poverty in Los Angeles, while he and his wife and child stay committed to keep their personal spending at or below the U.S. median income.  Read his story.

Bold Conversations is a monthly phone discussion hosted by Anne Ellinger, co-founder of Bolder Giving in Extraordinary Times (www.boldergiving.org). Each month you can join the conversation with extraordinary givers who share strategies, challenges, and excitement about their giving.  See all events.

The format of each Bold Conversation is a 60 min. free teleconference call.  Anne and the featured guest will talk, and every 10-15 minutes there will be time for questions from listeners.  We aim for an informal, interactive, and frank discussion where listeners apply lessons to their own giving. You can listen to archived conversations and also join online chats with Bold Givers hosted by the Chronicle on Philanthropy.

Please join us

No matter what your level of giving or the causes you give to, you’ll gain nuggets of wisdom you can apply to your own situation, and be energized by Tom's commitment and vision.  

Advisors who work with donors – please invite your donors to the call!  You are welcome to join as well, so long as you participate by applying the discussion to your personal giving. 

The contact information for joining the call will be provided by email following registration.

Episode 3: Tom Hsieh

Our conversation with Tom will touch upon:

How Much Is Enough? 
How does Tom and his family manage to live on so (relatively) little so they can give so much?  Are they happy with that?  How do his friends and family respond? 

Being Effective and Fulfilled 
How does his strong faith affect both his giving and his sense of fulfillment in giving?  How does he deal with living and giving amidst enormous poverty?  In what areas has his giving felt most effective?

Stepping Out to Encourage Others
Have others been affected by his choices? What can people who are neither Christian nor faith-guided take from his example?
