Joanne has helped athletes from teams such as the 49ers and Golden State Warriors to harness their energy and passion to invest in themselves and the public good. She has also taught a university course on Philanthropic Efforts in Sport. Meg and Dr. G ask Joanne about her philosophies surrounding athletics and social causes, and they discuss topics such as humanism, dignity, and speaking up in sports.
