This second volume in the Further Faster series builds upon the first volume, expanding its message from sparking generosity to sustaining it through thoughtful, values-driven legacy planning.

Legacy giving isn’t about tax codes or legal jargon—it’s about vision, permanence, and love. Yet for many, planned-giving conversations feel daunting. This book makes them accessible. With clarity and compassion, Michael Geis demystifies key strategies involving appreciated assets and income in respect of a decedent (IRD), helping you understand when taxes truly matter and when they don’t.

But beyond the technical, this work is deeply human. You’ll learn to ask better questions, to help donors articulate what they stand for, whom they love, and the impact they hope to leave behind. Inside you’ll discover how to:

• Present legacy-giving opportunities with confidence and authenticity.
• Inspire donors to envision gifts that outlive them.
• Lead with empathy, leaving fingerprints that endure long after your work is done.

If Book One taught you how to go Further, this book shows you how to make that progress Endure — Faster.
