In this episode, I interview Kris Putnam-Walkerly on her newest book, Delusional Altruism. Hint: “Delusional” doesn’t mean what you think it means. This the perfect episode for the philanthropists and foundations who want to be more impactful and effective.
Full show notes can be found HERE.
QUESTIONS ASKED
- You claim, "We are all philanthropists" (something I have said before in an interview with Council of Michigan Foundations Rob Collier.) What do you mean by this?

- What is Delusional Altruism? What does it look like? How Does it show up? (What are the 7 ways it shows up)
- What is destructive frugality?
- How are the mistakes philanthropists are making right now by their delusional altruism? What can they do about it?
- In your book, you highlight 7 strategies for transformational giving. "Together the philosophy behind these strategies constitute a mind-set that will make you unstoppable." Share more about these beliefs. What is the most transformational strategy?
