On track for a $150K loss tied to the migrant crisis—just one fallout of failed state policies. A tough lesson, but a necessary one.
That said, humanity will endure because kind and generous people exist. With age comes a bit of wisdom, and with that, a shift in focus: becoming a net contributor to building a better future.
This year marks the beginning of a committed philanthropic effort—supporting four students, with plans to double that number each year. The goal: 100+ scholars by 2030. One of them, Ashley from the Philippines, recently sent a note:
“Greetings, Sir Leo. I just want to say thank you for the scholarship. I really appreciate this opportunity.”
The mission is simple—give opportunity to the driven few who will make the most of it. A small percentage of people have the vision and resilience to challenge the status quo, but many flicker out without support.
This is a work in progress: making a dent in the universe by building a launchpad for new talent. Moving forward, the focus sharpens—expanding efforts in medicine, performing arts, and entrepreneurship. The goal isn’t just giving back but embedding giving into the very fabric of business growth.
