Just like other skills in our lives, learning how to give takes consistent time and intention. Contrary to popular belief you don’t need to wait until you are rich or retired to make a positive difference in the world around you. In fact, starting now can make your future giving exponential. Your time, talents, and money can be used for good starting today, regardless of the amount. Join me, Grant David Collins, every Tuesday as we work together to develop the skill set of giving.

This week, learn how to gradually level up your giving skills so you can be a force against the many challenges we are facing.

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.

Customer Reviews
Meaningful and Needed
This is simply something worth paying more attention to so we can create the intentional life of wise giving.
Good stuff with good people 🙌
Love having the reminder to be involved in efforts that help others and align with my heart. Thanks Grant!
Fantastic podcast!
I love this podcast! I’ve always wanted to be a proactive giver in my life, but have never really known how. Grant is so authentic and realistic with the way he presents philanthropy for beginners. I’ve also done the course and have been excited about the difference it’s made in my life so far. I’d HIGHLY recommend this to anyone considering being more generous with their money.
