The Five Powerful Uses of Money: Generously Doing Good With What We Have (Ep. 11)

Ever wondered how to make a real impact with your money? It’s not just about saving or spending but also about giving back to your community in a meaningful way.

When you hear the word “generosity,” what comes to mind? Most people equate generosity with financial giving. But in practice, the true essence of generosity goes far beyond money—encompassing your time, talent, and treasures. 

In this episode, host Jason and special guest Richard Newton, the Regional Director of the National Christian Foundation’s Carolinas office, take a closer look at what it means to “do good with what we have.” From simple first steps any new giver can take, to advanced strategies for generous business owners and high-income individuals, this conversation underscores the transformational power of generous living.

  • Smart ways to systematize your giving with a donor-advised fund
  • How to increase the intentionality and impact of large gifts
  • Why non-cash assets can be just as valuable as cash donations
  • The tax advantages of strategic giving

The Five Powerful Uses of Money: To Give, Live, Grow, Owe, and Cover Taxes (Ep. 10)

The Five Powerful Uses of Money: To Give, Live, Grow, Owe, and Cover Taxes (Ep. 10)

Every person has the opportunity to put their wealth towards 5 key things: Living, growing, giving, owing, and taxes. You can think of these 5 uses as forming your own ‘money pie’—one you can slice any way you like, as you allocate more or less funds to each area.

The first step towards making your finances work for you is being intentional about how you slice the pie, and which financial habits you prioritize. Because how you spend your money, in many ways, is how you spend your life.

In this episode, Jason covers:

  • The role each money function plays in your financial plan
  • How to re-slice your ‘money pie’ 
  • The one slice many people struggle to control
  • Managing good, bad, and ‘okay’ debt
  • Why charitable giving is different from generosity
  • And more
