#11 - Feel-good charity vs. effective charity Aug 23, 2018

Show notes

This was a great conversation with two fun and slightly non-traditional pastors from Michigan. We got to talk about "feel good" charity, meaning, comfort, the Karate Kid and how DonorSee flips traditional charity on it's head.

#10 - The drawbacks of success Aug 15, 2018

Show notes

Shae Bynes, who interviewed me for her podcast, is a master at asking piercing questions that get right down to the core. Today we got to talk about some of my old (shocking) blog posts, the pitfalls of success and the real reason why I don't take a salary for DonorSee. I had a blast recording this and I expect that you'll enjoy listening!

#9 - How living overseas shaped our perspectives w/ Jonathan Pageau and Paul VanderKlay Jul 31, 2018

Show notes

Join Jonathan Pageau, Paul VanderKlay and myself as we discuss our time overseas and how it shaped our perspectives! Each of us spent a significant amount of time living overseas and we each found the experience to be profoundly transformative. It will both test you and strengthen you. But, if you're not careful, it will break you.

"Going overseas is one of the best ways to spend your twenties." - Paul VanderKlay

#8 - Exactly how wealthy is the average American? Jul 25, 2018

Show notes

This episode comes from the video that inspired my TEDx Talk: How to wake up tomorrow morning like a billionaire. It shares a few brief but shocking numbers about global wealth disparity. The summary is that you are probably close to 100x wealthier than half the planet (after accounting for cost of living).

As always, I'm not trying to make anyone feel bad. In reality, I want you to feel great! It's an awesome opportunity to be blessed with so much and to be put in such a great position to help others.

#7 - Beware of bad orphanages w/ Georgina Hill Jul 19, 2018

Show notes

In this episode I interview, Tanzanian resident and DonorSee Storyteller, Georgina Hill.

Let's put it this way...not ALL orphanages are bad. But you would be shocked to find out just how few are good. Georgina does an excellent job explaining, in detail and backed up by data, the level of catastrophe that the age of the orphanage has brought us.

This is a great episode to share with your friends...especially the next time they say they are supporting an orphanage overseas. This should help you discern when to support and when to seek a better solution (which Georgina offers in this interview).

#6 - Should I feel guilty for spending money? Jul 17, 2018

Show notes

This is an excerpt from a recent conversation I had on The System Is Down Podcast. You can find a link to the full conversation here: tsidpod.com/66-soft-america-w-gret-glyer/

...and yes, we talked about spending money on my upcoming wedding.

***

More about my episode with Dan:

"The question of the day is… How much is enough? Is there a point where you have too much or should feel bad for having more posessions in one room of your house than many people will ever own in their lifetime? Let me know.

Today's episode is my conversation with repeat offender Gret Glyer, the CEO and creator of one of my favorite companies, DonorSee. DonorSee is something that has honestly impacted my life in a great way and helped me to become a better and more charitable human being.

Gret's story is a very important one. If you want the full rundown of what DonorSee is and how it came to being, go WAY back to the beginning of this show and check out episode 8, "Gret Glyer Saves the World".

This time we dug more into the state of cushy America and Gret's thoughts on our arguments over one American priveledge vs another, when is enough enough, what sets DonorSee apart from the charity herd and much more."

#5 - Why serving others is more complicated than it seems w/ Paul VanderKlay Jul 09, 2018

Show notes

I am excited to present my chat with Paul VanderKlay about poverty and the messiness of serving the poor. In this episode you will hear about the different upbringings that Paul and I come from (he from being around poverty and me being ignorant of it). We also talk about the 6 years he spent serving in the Dominican Republic, we talk about the difficulty of serving the poor, and we question our own motivation when attempting to help others. It was a great conversation and I know you will learn a lot from it!

#4 - Can you be rich even with a high cost of living? Jul 03, 2018

Show notes

Here are a few things a higher cost of living might get you access to:

Better public education
Lower crime rates
Superior law enforcement
Higher paying jobs
Jobs with more upward mobility
Highly educated neighbors
Stable government
Reliable utilities (internet, electricity, water etc.)
Well stocked grocery and retail stores

Complaining about a higher cost of living is often complaining about access to a massive amount of opportunity. The reason that the cost of living is so much lower in sub-saharan Africa is because the residents there rarely get access to the 9 things on that list.
