We recently had the chance to connect with Pablo Bogdan and have shared our conversation below.
Good morning Pablo, we’re so happy to have you here with us and we’d love to explore your story and how you think about life and legacy and so much more. So let’s start with a question we often ask: When was the last time you felt true joy?
The last time I felt true joy was when I realized the potential of Good Deed Money. Even though it isn’t built yet, just sharing the vision of a platform where people ASK for help and others GIVE — not as charity, but as empowerment — has sparked incredible excitement.
Knowing we’re on the verge of launching something that could transform human connection fills me with pure joy and anticipation.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Pablo Bogdan, a lawyer-turned-entrepreneur, art dealer, and founder of several ventures that bridge creativity, business, and social impact. My journey began in the art world, representing incredible artists and building my gallery in Los Angeles, but over time, I felt called to do something with a global purpose.
That’s how the idea for Good Deed Money (GDM) was born. It’s a platform we’re developing to redefine how people help each other, using technology and blockchain to create a network where anyone can ASK for help and others can GIVE, not as charity, but as empowerment.
What makes GDM unique is its focus on smart helping — rewarding verified good deeds, building online reputations, and transforming social media into a purpose-driven space. We live in a world more interconnected than ever, yet many people feel isolated. GDM is about turning that connectivity into meaningful action, solving real problems one good deed at a time.
We’re still in the early stages, but the excitement we’ve seen around this vision has been incredible. I truly believe GDM has the potential to become a global movement, and I invite readers to follow our journey at www.gooddeedmoney.com
Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
A moment that really shaped how I see the world was a conversation I had with someone who told me how a single act of kindness completely changed their life. It wasn’t about money — it was about someone taking the time to believe in them and guide them when they felt lost. That story stayed with me because it highlighted something I’ve seen over and over: real change happens when people are empowered, not just helped temporarily.
It made me reflect on how, despite living in the most interconnected era in history, so many people still feel alone and unheard. That realization planted the seed for Good Deed Money. I wanted to build a platform where acts of kindness could be visible, verified, and valued, creating a ripple effect of positive impact.
That moment was a turning point for me — it shifted my focus from just building businesses to building something with the potential to change the way humanity connects, one good deed at a time.
What’s something you changed your mind about after failing hard?
One of my biggest failures was early in my entrepreneurial journey when I believed that passion and a great idea were enough to make a project succeed. I poured my heart into a venture without building the right structure, systems, and community, and when it collapsed, it was devastating.
That experience completely changed my mindset. I realized that no matter how meaningful your vision is, you can’t build something transformative alone — you need trust, scalability, and a network of people aligned with your purpose.
This lesson is at the core of Good Deed Money. It’s not just about connecting people for good deeds; it’s about creating a verified, sustainable ecosystem where every action is valued and every participant feels part of something bigger.
Failing taught me that growth comes from collaboration and smart systems, and now, instead of just chasing ideas, I focus on building movements that can truly last.
Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? What’s a cultural value you protect at all costs?
A cultural value I protect at all costs is authenticity. In today’s world, so much of our interaction — especially online — feels superficial, driven by likes, filters, and appearances rather than genuine connection.
For me, authenticity means showing up truthfully, even when it’s uncomfortable. It’s about creating spaces where people feel safe to share their real needs, dreams, and challenges, without fear of judgment.
This is at the heart of Good Deed Money. The platform is being built to celebrate real human stories, not polished images. Every ASK and every GIVE is based on trust, verified through action rather than words. By protecting authenticity, we can transform social media into a place where connection has purpose, and people feel seen for who they truly are — not just how they appear.
It’s a value that drives everything I do, because without authenticity, even the most ambitious ideas lose their power to truly change lives.
Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
The story I hope people tell about me when I’m gone is that I brought people together to believe in each other again.
I don’t want to just be remembered for the businesses I built or the projects I led — I want my legacy to be about connection and empowerment. That through my work, especially with Good Deed Money, I created a space where someone’s life could change because a stranger chose to give their time, knowledge, or support, and that act sparked a chain of kindness that kept growing.
I hope people will say, “Pablo didn’t just dream of a better world — he built the tools for us to make it happen.”
If, years from now, someone’s life is better because of a good deed that started on this platform, then my story will live on through theirs. That ripple effect — of trust, hope, and shared humanity — is the true legacy I want to leave behind.
