In this episode of Money Tales, we explore how trust and relationships form the true foundation of wealth. Our guest is David Homan. Early in his career, David experienced a defining moment when he was leading a philanthropic organization that suffered significant losses from Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi Scheme. Thrust into a financial and emotional crisis that was not of his own making, David had to rebuild trust with donors and other stakeholders while at the same time navigating the complexities of bankruptcy law. His experience reshaped how David views success which is not just in terms of money, but in the relationships and trust that truly sustain us.

David Homan is a “connector of connectors” and the founder of Orchestrated Connecting, a private community of impact focused givers whose networks span the world. He has partnered with many prestigious family offices and investors, speaking on impact and relationship value. With a forthcoming book and a newly launched start-up around connection, he is dedicated to tackling climate change, mental health, health equity, supporting the arts–among other passions and in building a diverse world of “givers” to align capital to improve outcomes for all. He is also a working classical composer and proud father of two.
