Many of us are searing for 'happiness', but what causes us to be happy? How do we find joy? As we move from Thanksgiving into Christmas, it is easy to get trapped in the busyness of life. So many things to do, but never enough time. Maybe instead of trying, doing, and owning more; we should be looking at how we can find generosity in life? Generosity is birthed from a place of giving. Many of us think about giving as a financial decision, but giving and generosity can be more than just donating more money. In today's episode, we sat down with Brad Formsma and chat about generosity. He shares his story of how he learned how to give and why he is creating the 'I Like Giving' movement.

 I Like Giving: The Transforming Power of a Generous Life by Brad Formsma This on demand audio series is a part of the Executive Girlfriends Group Vignette Series. Chicke Fitzgerald interviews Brad Formsma. The original live interview was 12/11/15. When you choose to live a generous life, you start to change and so does the world around you. Something incredible happens when giving becomes your own idea, not something you do out of duty or obligation. When you move from awareness to action, miracles happen. As you make giving a lifestyle, you'll realize you're not only loving life more, you're also creating a more generous world— a better world for all of us. I Like Giving is about experiencing the joy of giving. We all have something to give. Giving goes way beyond money or things. It can be a listening ear, a touch, or simply the gift of time.  Giving is living. Brad's story began at a young age, inspired by his grandfather to open his eyes and see the needs of the people around him. Fast-forward a few years, and Brad has committed his life to making the world a better place, one giving story at a time.

Tonight's guest is a man on a mission. Brad Formsma wants to transform the world into a more generous, giving place. He doesn't want people to pay it forward – he wants people to give it forward.
