#75: Today's podcast speaks to the transformative power of giving - those who give often end up receiving a gift they never expected!

How do you really start your own nonprofit organization? Christian LeFer went through the grueling process of applying for a nonprofit, prompting him to start something so aspiring organizers will not go through the same path anymore. The result is a business that has become the top-rated 501(c)3 service in this niche.  Like Christian, many people’s passion for starting a nonprofit is sparked by events from childhood. Starting a business can be a great way to find meaning and solve problems in the world but sometimes the best model for the change you see is nonprofit. That’s where nonprofits can provide a great level of meaning in your life, far beyond what a business could.
