Intention is often the main criterion we use to gauge our impact as individual philanthropists. The common belief is, "If our hearts are in the right place, that's all that matters." But, is that truly the case? Should the goodwill of our hearts be the sole measure of the positive change we bring into the world? This week, join us as we explore a more effective approach to achieving impact through intention with Aaron Miller. How to Help Podcast: https://how-to-help.com/podcast/ How to Help B...

Hosted by Grant David Collins, Giving Is A Skill operates on a simple but powerful idea: generosity isn't a character trait you're born with, but a practical ability you can develop. This podcast dismantles the common notion that meaningful contribution requires vast wealth or a specific stage in life. Instead, each episode explores how your current resources-whether that's an hour of your week, a professional talent, or a modest budget-can be strategically directed to create real impact right now. You'll hear from Grant every Tuesday as he breaks down the mechanics of effective philanthropy, smart volunteering, and intentional living. The conversations are grounded in actionable steps, moving beyond inspiration to provide a clear framework for integrating giving into your daily routine. It's for anyone in the business of improving themselves or their community, offering lessons that blend personal growth with tangible social good. Tune in to discover how building this skill today can compound your positive influence, making your future contributions more impactful and fulfilling. This is where thoughtful strategy meets the human impulse to help, transforming goodwill into sustained action.
