Podcasts about make smarter choices

In this episode: building a giving framework, the giving pledge, compound impact, donor advised funds, and different ways to give. Is it better to give to charity in a lump sum versus incrementally? What are the tax implications of donating? What are the benefits of using donor advised funds? This week we answer these questions and more with the help of Rebecca Herbst and Jack Lewars as we discuss charitable donations and effective giving while on the FI journey. A large part of FI is taking actionable steps to improve your life, but this journey also opens up opportunities to improve the life of others. While navigating donations while on the path to FI can seem tricky because we are so focused on attaining our FI numbers, there are still many ways you can give back and make a difference. Creating the habit of effective giving can help you leave an impact on yourself and the world at large! There are many resources available that can help calculate what you can give while remaining on the FI track, as well as help you see how your donations are making a difference!  Rebecca Herbst & Jack Lewars: Yield and Spread: yieldandspread.org Rebecca's Coaching Program: Coaching for do-gooders 1 For The World: 1fortheworld.org Jack's LinkedIn: Jack Lewars Timestamps: 1:37 – Introduction 4:24 – The Giving Pledge 11:59 – Building A Framework And Effective Giving 23:20 – Should You Get To FI Before You Give? 33:12 – Compound Impact 39:48 – Feedback From Giving And Fun Funds 51:08 – Different Ways To Give 61:09 – Donating Appreciated Stocks 66:59 – Conclusion Resources Mentioned In Today's Episode: Join Your Local ChooseFI Group “The Life You Can Save: How to do your part to end world poverty” by Peter Singer School of Hard Knocks “Practical Ethics” by Peter Singer GiveWell The Life You Can Save “Die With Zero: Getting All You Can from Your Money and Your Life” by Bill Perkins Yield & Spread's DAF Series “Doing Good Better: How Effective Altruism Can Help You Help Others, Do Work that Matters, and Make Smarter Choices about Giving Back” by William MacAskill Subscribe to The FI Weekly!

The term used to describe this mental overload is decision fatigue.  Learn the signs of decision fatigue and the steps you can take to ease your decision-making process to make the best choices.

Katelyn Parsons, holistic health coach and founder of Katelyn Parsons Modern Girl Holistics (katelynparsons.com), talks about lifestyle and nutrition choices that can help us all to feel better and live healthier lives.   As a certified Holistic Health Coach and Yoga Teacher in San Diego, California, Katelyn specializes in helping career women let go of weight while feeling more empowered when around food, which provides the confidence, and powerful energy, to push forward and accomplish their dreams.    Katelyn discusses her background and the personal struggles that led to her career. From a young age, she was constantly on diets trying to lose weight, which led to bulimia that she battled until her mid-20s. After hitting a low point, she sought help and treatment, and emotional support from her family, and began her path toward a healthier life through better nutrition, using food to heal not harm. Moving forward, Katelyn wanted to share her success with others, and help people find balance in their lives.    Katelyn talks about the joyful experience of helping other women with their own struggles. As Katelyn states, her holistic health approach focuses on lifestyle as well as nutrition. She states that she looks at every person individually, and the multiple areas of their lives, in order to devise a plan to help them. She talks about how we compare ourselves to others and the importance of focusing on the path that you are on individually. The nutrition and lifestyle expert talks about internal health and detoxification, and the concept of ‘plate building' in terms of choosing new ways to eat healthier, eating nutritious food abundantly.    Katelyn discusses the ways to stop food cravings. She expounds upon the benefits of adding healthy fats to our diets. Finally, Katelyn talks about the variations within her program and the many types of training and resources she provides to her clients. From balancing blood sugar to know how to make smart choices when shopping, and beyond, Katelyn works individually with people to help them make their transformations.

The challenge we face: Donors are becoming more sophisticated when it comes to charitable giving. One philosophy and social movement around philanthropy is effective altruism. Through effective altruism donors try to determine and support nonprofits that combine the most effective and cost efficient programming to impact our world. Fundraising professionals and nonprofit leaders need to be aware of this growing attitude toward funding nonprofits and ensure that our interactions with donors communicates clearly the value proposition of our organization.
