In my new book, 'Birth,' my goal is to share the path I have traveled in the spiritual sphere and in the business and philanthropic sphere in order to reveal the essential connection between the two.

I have always wanted to be a catalyst for bringing about positive change, inspiring others to choose goodness.

In everything I do, whether in business, philanthropy or my personal life, I am guided by my inner truth, my values.

Once you realize that everything happens for a reason, attitudes towards matters such as illnesses, or lawsuits, for example, change.

Even a smile is a good deed.

Doing good holds the power to transform us on the inside, and then ripple out in ever-expanding circles that positively impact the world at large.

I can't point to a single person or incident that changed my life, but the recognition that there is a certain world order, has been consequential. It has empowered me to do things my way. I found an inner truth by which I abide.
