The Hidden Philanthropist is a fresh, new podcast all about the art of giving back. It provides a platform where philanthropists can shine, inspire, encourage and lead, and can tell their stories in an interesting, informative and thoroughly entertaining format. Hosted by TV personality and property developer Andrew Purdie, this podcast features honest and authentic conversations with both household names and more anonymous philanthropists from all walks of life. The Hidden Philanthropist podcast was born as a platform to help others who, like Andrew, want to give back but are just not sure how, or where. And with more than 60,000 registered charities in Australia, and approximately 10 million charities globally, navigating this space can be overwhelming. These conversations may just provide the perfect catalyst to ignite the passion, inspiration, motivation and determination you need to fulfil the desire to give of yourself in a way that works for you. So if you are looking to begin your own philanthropic journey but are unsure where to start, or you want to learn more about the ins and outs of running a charity, this is the podcast for you. First series guests include Dr Charlie Teo, Reverend Tim Costello, Professor Miles Prince and Father Bob Maguire. Join Andrew Purdie on a journey of philanthropic discovery, where he chats openly about intentions, motivations, inspirations, and the light bulb moments that lead us to think beyond ourselves. www.andrewpurdie.com.au

THE HIDDEN PHILANTHROPIST talks to JULIAN & STEPHANIE FENNESSY
The Giraffe Conservation Foundation (GCF) is the only NGO that concentrates solely on the conservation and management of giraffe in the wild throughout Africa. I was fortunate enough to spend time in Namibia with fellow Aussie Julian Fennessy and his wife Stephanie to learn about their field of expertise, their experience in creating GCF, what their day-to-day activities involve, the challenges of conserving giraffe and halting their rapid decline, the importance of a strong funding base, and so much more.

THE HIDDEN PHILANTHROPIST talks to RADEK SALI
Radek Sali is the perfect example of a human who is being the change he wants to see in the world. His formative young years and the influence of his family developed an incredible work ethic and this combined with his intellect and sense of self led him to become one of Australia’s most successful entrepreneurs. Radek has turned that success into a deeply inspiring level of community involvement and the support of conscious capitalism. You can’t help but be moved and motivated, and I hope you enjoy listening to Radek as much I did.

THE HIDDEN PHILANTHROPIST talks to JANA PITTMAN
Jana’s achievements are well documented and her public and private highs and lows have been played out in the media. It would be hard to find a more honest, authentic, driven and passionate person whose nurturing nature has seen her become a mother of six, and now a doctor. She uses her reputation and her name as a platform for advocating for the topics and issues that are traditionally taboo, and she acknowledges the realness of life. Our conversation was deeply inspiring, and so much fun.
