In this episode of 'The Art of Good,' I interview Shane Foley, a successful businessman and former USC quarterback. Shane, alongside his wife Farrell, founded the nonprofit 'Rainy Day Pennies' aimed at supporting underprivileged children in Southern California. We talk about Shane's background, his motivation behind starting the nonprofit, his family's involvement, and the importance of giving back. Shane shares insights on the significance of the charity's mission, overcoming challenges, the broader impact of their work, and some inspirational advice for those looking to make a difference in their communities.
