Over the next week, Pindar introduces Joe to a series of ?go-givers: ? a restaurateur, a CEO, a financial adviser, a real estate broker, and the ?Connector, ? who brought them all together. Pindar's friends share with Joe the Five Laws of Stratospheric Success and teach him how to open himself up to the power of giving.
