While Lynch continues to serve as the Vice Chairman of Fidelity Investments , he now focuses much of his time with his wife Carolyn Lynch on philanthropy.

Tune in and listen while you work.

• Have patience in establishing your philanthropy

• Conduct careful due diligence on the financials of potential grantees.
