003: Giving Solves All Problems

You’ve already lost your competitive advantage if you are not giving. The spirit of giving is not just a time of the year, it’s the means to success. We are so focused on our own endeavors and agendas that we forget to look inward into our contribution to the world. Giving and generosity improve all aspects of life including performance at work, healthy relationships, and even the fight for garment labor rights. This episode, we uncover why giving is so important especially when tackling global problems. We dive into who contributes to fast fashion and who we need most to solve issues around mass garment consumption. _____________________________ HIGHLIGHTS: Ethical pop-up market + donations to multiple causes (00:20) Giving Tuesday…after days of consecutive consumption (02:13) When giving feels best (04:05) Regretting being generous (04:57) Top performance occurs when companies do this (06:30) One thing that will drastically improve results at work and in relationships (08:28) Practice taking less (09:35) Starting small + focusing on results over big dollar inputs (11:51) The paradoxical cycle of low-income workers and fast fashion (14:00) Can we ever get full visibility into garment factories?
