<v Speaker 1>This is CEOs, you should know, powered by iHeartMedia, America's

2
00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:08.000
<v Speaker 1>largest audio company.

3
00:00:08.119 --> 00:00:11.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, hi, How'm i Christian. I'm the chairman of someone

4
00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:14.759
<v Speaker 2>Else's Child, and I'm also the chairman of a risk

5
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:18.239
<v Speaker 2>strategies company, which I founded many years ago. Well's actually

6
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:22.199
<v Speaker 2>my wife, Diane's idea. She came up with the Ideash

7
00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:24.399
<v Speaker 2>came up with the name someone Else's Child, which has

8
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:27.559
<v Speaker 2>resonated down through the years. The theme really is that

9
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:31.719
<v Speaker 2>we're all responsible for the children in our communities. The

10
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:36.079
<v Speaker 2>money goes to various organizations that we work with. We

11
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:40.600
<v Speaker 2>work through other nonprofit organizations that focus in on children,

12
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:43.920
<v Speaker 2>and it might be education, it might be the arts,

13
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.880
<v Speaker 2>it could be children living with disabilities, economic justice. There's

14
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:50.359
<v Speaker 2>a wide gamut of areas that we work with, but

15
00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:54.960
<v Speaker 2>we generally work through other organizations. We've been fortunate in

16
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:57.600
<v Speaker 2>our lives and we've been able to we're in a

17
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:00.240
<v Speaker 2>position where we can give back to some extent, and

18
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:01.840
<v Speaker 2>we're now at a time in our lives when we're

19
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:04.000
<v Speaker 2>not in our for profit careers anymore. Our kids have

20
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:06.239
<v Speaker 2>all grown and we have the time to be able

21
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:08.799
<v Speaker 2>to do it too, which is an important part. My

22
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:12.879
<v Speaker 2>advice would be to focus in on something you're passionate about.

23
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:14.799
<v Speaker 2>Think about how you're going to do it, and how

24
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:16.480
<v Speaker 2>are you going to involve and how are you going

25
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:18.200
<v Speaker 2>to add value beyond writing a check.
