Description

What is the ultimate Return on Investment? For Larry Connor, it isn’t just found in luxury real estate portfolios or expeditions to outer space—it’s found in the future of the next generation.

On this episode of the What Gives Podcast, host Erin Satzger sits down with billionaire Larry Connor (Founder of The Connor Group) to discuss how high-stakes business acumen translates to high-impact philanthropy. Larry is known for his extreme adventures—piloting to the International Space Station and diving to the deepest parts of the ocean—but his most ambitious mission is right here on Earth: revolutionizing education for under-resourced students.

We discuss:

The Business of Giving: How Larry applies private equity standards and "Connor Group discipline" to non-profit work.

Calculated Risk: Why the mindset required for space travel is essential for solving systemic education issues.

The Greater Dayton School: A look inside the philosophy and model of Ohio’s first private, non-religious school for under-resourced students.

Whether you are an entrepreneur, an investor, or a community leader, this conversation challenges the traditional definition of ROI.

Hosted by: Erin Satzger (Northern Cincinnati Foundation) Guest: Larry Connor (The Connor Group)
