“Generosity is a mindset, not an event.”
- Bob DePasquale
High-generosity people are 23% more likely to be satisfied with their lives overall!
*The Accent, 2019Thriving organizations implement cultures of generosity that attract the best talent and the most loyal customers. It's good business!
Being generous makes everyone’s life better. It doesn’t matter if you are the giver, the receiver, or just an on-looker.
Bob learned this lesson at a very young age. In fact, if it wasn’t for some generous acts, Bob likely wouldn’t be here today. He has dedicated his life to empowering mission-driven organizations to build cultures of generosity that are made up of fulfilled employees and satisfied customers.
The Generosity Guy has worked professionally and in volunteer roles for 23 years, in three different countries, and in 17 states.
When Bob was given a cancer diagnosis and experienced the tragic events of 9/11 in New York City, he thought not only his life over, but everyone else’s too. He went from feeling like an invincible 18-year-old to an unworthy victim of life.
What happened in the months and years following was truly miraculous - or was it generous? The acts of generosity he experienced saved his life.
Bob’s story is unique but his perspective resonates with anyone who wants to enjoy the work they do, give to others, and make a positive impact in the world.

Giving is actually an accumulation technique.
Bob has always believed in taking care of the things with which he’s been blessed. It is his mission to help others do the same by delivering powerful and engaging talks for groups with a desire to do better with what they have.
Bob’s perspective derives from a battle with cancer at age 18. After growing up an only child, it wasn’t until he was legally an adult that he felt alone. Suffering from a life-threatening illness at such a young age led to a unique view of the gift that is vitality. Having life is something to celebrate.
Bob now serves as the Founder and President of Initiate Impact Virtual Family Offices - a wealth management firm dedicated to radical generosity. He also hosts the Speaking of Impact podcast and writes The E-Impact Blog.

Bob is a phenomenal speaker. He's clear and concise and works to ensure the audience is tracking with the topic at hand. He's also an active listener, paying attention to what the audience is interested in. When he's engaging with a member of the audience, I’m always amazed at how he can pick out key points they talked about to ensure he is understanding their point of view.
