Picture this: You're at the end of your life, reflecting on your financial journey. What's the metric that truly matters? Is it the size of your bank account—or the lives you've touched through your generosity?

In today's episode, we're tackling a question that could reframe your entire perspective on money: What is your Net Given, and why is it the most important number you're probably not tracking?

We explore the transformative power of tracking your Net Given—every act of generosity, big or small.
