    May 21 2024

    Individualism seems to be everywhere. It’s in the movies we watch, the news we read, and the music we listen to. But just because it is everywhere, doesn’t mean it is useful. This week, find out why, ironically, getting outside yourself is the surest way to be individually successful in life and giving.

    May 14 2024

    May 7 2024

  • Don’t Be an Ostrich (Revisited)
    Apr 23 2024

    It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the inequities in this world. Between almost continuous reports of natural disasters, the ever-present echoes of war, and political upheaval abroad, and at home, one can feel like the only way to deal with all the noise is to simply find the nearest sandhill and shove their head in it. This week, learn how to gradually level up your giving skills so you can be a force against the many challenges we are facing.

  • The Messy Middle (ft. Austin Heath)
    Apr 16 2024

    The messy middle is where a lot of us find ourselves, especially when it comes to giving. We have an inkling of an idea to give back, but for one reason or another we can’t get all the pieces to fit together just right. Although necessary to creating good in the world, it’s all to easy to get stuck within continuous ideation. This week, learn from the experience of a fellow messy middler, Austin Heath.
