Troy Hoffman | How Generosity Builds Trust

Ken Joslin10/2/202623:34

Want something FOR people, not FROM people. On this episode of Proximity Live, Ken sits down with his good friend Troy Hoffman, a two-time Inc. 500 winner with an exit north of $100M, to unpack Generosity: The Overflow Frequency from Ken's new book, 14 Frequencies. Troy shares how his parents modeled a life of service, the hidden cost of giving to the wrong people, how to spot real generosity versus performance, and why proximity to the right people is the ultimate cheat code.
