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
  • Striking a balance between hedonism and altruism
  • Making difficult problems tractable
  • A breakdown of the gender pay gap
  • Impact starting with small actions
  • WTF is effective altruism?
  • Whether charities should be structured differently
