Hosted by Wealthspire CEO, Mike LaMena, This season of Great Aspirations is centered on a simple but powerful idea: the power of giving.

At Wealthspire, we talk often about success, growth, and opportunity—but we believe true wealth is measured by something deeper. It’s measured by the impact we have on others. By the lives we touch. By what we choose to give back, how we choose to give, and why. Our guest for episode 1 is Harris English, 5-time PGA Tour champion, who speaks not only to his journey as a pro golfer, but his commitment to giving back to the golf community.
