💡 How can I build a purpose-driven business that creates real success?

Bob Giles reveals that it starts with clarity of values and an intentional shift in how you define ROI. For him, success was not just in revenue but in changing lives, from helping nonprofits scale to employing single moms and empowering them to earn six-figure incomes. Through his purpose-driven success, he redefined what it means to win in business.

💬 What is values-based leadership, and how does it impact business?

Values-based leadership is the core of Bob’s philosophy. He doesn’t just talk about giving back, he builds it into every facet of his business, from offering employees paid time to volunteer to creating platforms for nonprofits to gain visibility. This leadership style doesn’t dilute profitability, it strengthens it by aligning purpose with profit.

This episode also dives deep into practical examples of nonprofit fundraising ideas, including how Bob helped local organizations grow from $150K to over $600K in donations through strategic sponsorship models, payment plans, and top-tier donor targeting. These are real-world applications of philanthropic entrepreneurship development, made possible by someone who knows how to scale with heart.

🤔 What makes philanthropic entrepreneurship sustainable?

Bob shares how aligning his business with philanthropy actually grew his company, attracted loyal customers, and created long-term brand equity. Instead of one-off donations, he invested in strategic community partnerships and storytelling. That kind of sustainable giving isn’t just good PR, it’s smart leadership.
