My guest today is Peter Borish, founder, chairman, and CEO of Computer Trading Corporation. He's also a founding board member of the Robin Hood Foundation, one of the great American charities. Borish has seen much in the financial world over several decades and is a wealth of insights.

• Roots and successes of Borish's charity work
• Dealing with the fact that you can't help everybody
• Advice to future non-profit workers
• The parallels between non-profits and regular businesses
