Leading with Purpose at 23: A Conversation with JC Carr

In this energizing episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with JC Carr, Gen Z entrepreneur, family business leader, and founder of WhipsMiami, to explore what it means to lead with intentionality, both in business and in giving. From balancing his role at a multi-generation manufacturing company to launching exotic car events that fund children’s hospitals, JC shares a refreshingly honest take on ambition, philanthropy, and growing up with a mission to give back. “There’s an insane amount of potential to do more,” he reflects, and he’s just getting started.

Key Takeaways:

• Family business leadership comes with unique challenges, and opportunities to lead with humility.
• JC’s philanthropic work began with a simple Google search for local charity events, and grew into monthly programs for kids with special needs.
• Branding and social media can be powerful tools for good, but JC values privacy and authenticity above visibility when it comes to helping others.
• His advice to young professionals: show up, get involved, and start small. Purpose builds over time.
