Episode Synopsis

Generosity is about a lot more than just money. We pondered this reality from a few points of view. And we found ourselves thinking through a lot of questions. For example: Is it possible to think about being generous with time separately from money? Is it possible to scale our impact while still protecting our professional (and thus personal) time? In what ways can we extend to other people the same assumption we grant ourselves — that we’re all trying to be a “good guy” — and what are the mutual benefits of doing so? What kinds of expert knowledge, processes, network connections, and/or materials do and don’t we share..and why? (And what differences here should we be scrutinizing wrt how individual scicommers/trainers operate vs. the big scicomm organizations?) Bottom line: Generosity doesn’t always have to focus on financials. So, how else can we create abundance, together, beyond the bounds of money? Dig in for yourself: What’s a non-montetary form of generosity that you practice professionally? Thanks for listening!
