    Kim Marshall: LA Rising: Storytelling, Healing, and Hope After Disaster
    Feb 12 2026
    In this powerful and deeply moving episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Kim Marshall, media strategist, podcast host, and wildfire survivor, to explore how storytelling can become a lifeline in the aftermath of crisis. After narrowly escaping the devastating January 7th fires in Los Angeles, Kim transformed her personal trauma into purpose by launching the LA Rising podcast, a platform dedicated to stories of healing, help, and hope. From firsthand accounts of evacuation and loss to long-term recovery, climate resilience, and community rebuilding, Kim shares why capturing these stories isn’t just therapeutic, it’s essential for individuals, cities, and the future.

    Key Takeaways:
    • Storytelling is a proven tool for healing, helping survivors process trauma and realize they are not alone.
    • Disaster recovery is a long-term journey—often five to ten years—and philanthropy must be prepared to support beyond immediate relief.
    • Investing in disaster preparedness saves lives and resources; every dollar spent on pre-planning can save many more in rebuilding costs.
    • Community voices, data, and lived experience are critical to shaping smarter, healthier responses to future climate-related disasters.

    Feb 5 2026
    In Part 2 of Money to Give, Rick Peck continues his rich conversation with Chad Hufford, financial coach, founder of Veritas Wealth Management, and passionate voice for abundance over anxiety.

Grounded in both practical advice and timeless wisdom, this episode is a powerful reminder that wealth without contentment is never enough, but living with gratitude can change everything.

    Key Takeaways:
    • Gratitude is a learned discipline, not a feeling, and it quiets the scarcity mindset.
    • Financial margin creates room not just for giving, but for joy, clarity, and legacy.
    • True contentment comes from recognizing what you have, not chasing what you lack.
    • Generosity isn’t the reward for wealth, it’s the path toward real financial freedom.

    Jan 29 2026
    In this thoughtful and deeply human episode of Money to Give, Rick sits down with Chad Hufford, financial steward, coach, and founder of Veritas Wealth Management, to explore the powerful intersection of money, mindset, and generosity.

From scarcity versus abundance to why generosity must be practiced long before financial freedom arrives, this conversation reframes money as a tool for impact rather than a source of stress.

  • Building What’s Missing: LR Fox on Philanthropy, Foster Youth, and Unlocking Human Potential

    Building What’s Missing: LR Fox on Philanthropy, Foster Youth, and Unlocking Human Potential
    Jan 1 2026
    In this powerful episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with LR Fox, founder of Next Global Capital and the Next Foundation, for a candid conversation about what happens when philanthropy moves beyond charity and into systems change. Drawing from his own experience growing up in foster care, Fox shares how his family office and foundation identify major social gaps and either invest in solutions, or build them when none exist.

    At the heart of the conversation is Oasis Academy, a groundbreaking boarding school and support network designed to identify exceptionally talented youth from foster care, orphanages, refugee camps, and trafficking shelters—and give them a real pathway to thrive. “Every dollar we deploy is a vote for the future we want to build,” Fox explains, reframing philanthropy as an act of belief in human potential. Together, Rick and Fox explore what it looks like to give not just to relieve suffering, but to unlock opportunity and create ripple effects that can transform entire communities.
    • Philanthropy can move faster and farther when it identifies gaps and builds solutions, not just funds existing programs.
    • Youth with the greatest talent are often the most at risk without access to opportunity and support systems.
    • Investing in long‑term pathways (education, mentorship, leadership) creates generational impact, not dependency.
    • Giving rooted in lived experience brings credibility, clarity, and deeper outcomes.
