From Vietnam to Philanthropy: The Life I Never Planned Stephen Rosedale
🎧 Listen to this and other episodes at www.joidenver.com/podcasts.
Welcome to Zero Percent, the podcast that explores the outsized impact of the Jewish people! 🌟Vietnam veteran and healthcare entrepreneur Stephen Rosedale built one of America's largest post-acute care systems, but his most defining moments happened long before that. In this episode, Stephen shares how a chance encounter in college led him to Israel, how combat in Vietnam forged an unbreakable promise to be his "brother's keeper," and how a single tap on the shoulder at a bar mitzvah changed his life at 47.
Discover how Stephen's philosophy of "hearts touching hearts" became both the foundation of a 25,000-employee company and a blueprint for transforming Jewish life in Cincinnati from founding a kollel to building schools and synagogues and supporting Israeli communities rebuilding after October 7th.
Whether you're thinking about what it means to give, how to pass philanthropic values to the next generation, or how near-death experiences shape a life of purpose, Stephen's story is a masterclass in turning personal trials into communal impact. This episode asks a simple but powerful question: when you feel that tap on the shoulder urging you to do good, will you stop and listen?

Published 24 Jun 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] He says, number one, be careful what you speak about. Don't speak Lashonara. And he says to them, and he says it with such a strongness. He says, I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you. Please make sure to give 20%. Because if you don't give 20%, you are being over. You are transgressing a biblical commandment. Because it says in the Bible, aser to aser, give twice. In the days of old, the days of yore, when we were an agricultural society, you gave 10% to the levy and 10% to the poor. 10% to the levy, 10% to take Jewish line. But you always gave 20%. So the girl felt very strongly. […]
