Episode Synopsis

You’ve considered cross-cultural work, but the idea of fundraising and relying on others for your income makes you hesitate.In this episode, we name the challenges: awkward asks, a “tapped” network, actually having enough to live well, and the tension between calling and financial security. We then get practical, talking about how support-raising works, when it’s treated as a partnership, how to map your network, how to get referrals to expand your network, and how to set a realistic, healthy budget that includes savings, retirement, debt repayment, and actual rest.This is a down-to-earth look at the pros, cons, and first steps to help you decide if cross-cultural work is for you.
