Consider the possibility that giving may be the answer that propels your business through challenging times.
There is nothing more alluring to talented people than a leader who finds cause to support. Especially when most businesses are hanging by a thread.
Today we are talking to four business leaders who are giving back to the community and experiencing tremendous engagement from those they serve.
Our guests today:

These Four business moguls came together in April of 2020, to start up a charity called California Love Drop. The California Love Drop delivers meals and treats to our well-deserving Front Line Heroes and community neighbors in need. In October 2020, California Love Drop celebrates their 100th Drop!
