This episode is about how you can make a difference with money, but not everyone has that much money to deploy. We talked about this idea of limited resources. You have 80 thousand hours to make a positive impact on the world, if that is your choosing. I think givewell is just a great alternative for people like me who do get stuck in some-that analysis paralysis of where my money go and where will it be deployed most effectively.
We believe that the desire to give is universal, but is just as much a skill as anything else in life. In this episode, Cal and Steph discuss the how you can make a difference during your limited time on this earth, with the limited resources you have -- especially during times like these.
They dive into...
- Creative ways that people have supported Ukraine

- Making difficult problems tractable
