Episode 220 Why Charity Alone Can Never Solve The World’s Greatest Problems
Faith Driven Investor
What happens when a former Goldman Sachs bond trader walks away from Wall Street — not for a bigger paycheck, but to end hunger in Africa? Zac Sicher did exactly that. After trading through the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, the Credit Suisse crisis, and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Zac spent time alone in the mountains asking God what to do with his career. The answer led him across 400+ conversations on the African continent and into a new role as a fund manager for one of FDI's most ambitious initiatives yet: Solving the World's Greatest Problems.
