Stop helping the most people - Lucas Skr...

Lucas Skrobot
About this episode

Don't help the most people. Help people the most.

In a world where every "like" is counted, and every possible metric metered, it can be ease for our thoughts to be skewed by the number game. 

It can be easy to get caught up in popular opinion and pander to the crowd.  Just because people THINK what you are doing is making an impact doesn't actually MEAN you are making an impact. 

Listen to this episode to hear WHY helping the most people is a bad idea... and what you should do instead.
