79: Lessons from Chadwick (Generosity)

BRETT GAJDA AND NICK JAWORSKI
About this episode

This week our episode is inspired by the life of Chadwick Boseman.

We challenge ourselves to look at how we are showing up in the world. With all of our fears and doubts and distractions, and over corrections and under corrections, and at times just plain laziness or indifference - how many of us manage to consistently show up in our life? For ourselves and for others? To bring all of ourselves to the party?

We hear a story from Personal Story expert, Bo Eason. And you may just leave this episode with a different view on generosity, and a renewed commitment to bring it.
