049: You Don’t Need Millions to Make a Difference
What comes to mind when you hear the word philanthropy?
If your brain goes straight to billionaires, black-tie galas, or foundations with marble walls... you’re not alone.
But that version of philanthropy? It’s outdated—and it’s holding too many of us back from stepping into the impact we’re meant to make.
In this episode, I’m breaking down what modern-day philanthropy really looks like—and how to start living it, even if you’re early in your business, operating on a tight budget, or still figuring out your mission.
Because giving back isn’t just a feel-good bonus—it’s smart strategy. It builds trust. It fuels visibility. And most of all, it creates change.
Let’s talk about how to do good your way—starting now.
✅ WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:
- The real definition of philanthropy (and why it’s not what you think)
- What holds most people back from giving—and how to move past it
- How to integrate impact into your daily life and business, no matter your size
- Why purpose-driven business is the future—and how to lead with it now
🔑 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS:
1️⃣ You don’t need a foundation or a fortune to start making a difference—you just need intention.
2️⃣ Modern-day philanthropy is about living generously, not giving perfectly.
3️⃣ Every action you take—when aligned with purpose—creates a ripple of impact.
