Summary

Happy Monday, Radicals! This morning I want to share a few experiences I'm grateful for and use it as an opportunity to encourage you as you begin your week.

I've been tremendously blessed over the past weeks by many friends and family members who have volunteered their time and talents to help me in my time of need.

I'll never be able to repay them.

And yet, if an opportunity arises, I will work to repay them because I now have social debt. And, I'll be happy to work to repay them.

In today's show I share with you some simple thoughts around the social giving economy and some encouragement for you to focus on being a "Go-Giver" towards others.

It's a character trait that may help you tremendously in your time of need.

Enjoy!

Joshua

0:55.0	Yes, I'm stealing that from Bob Berg, but I'm not going to steal this book,
0:58.0	but I am going to talk about giving and investing in other people. I've been working hard the last couple of weeks to get back in the flow of normal life and as it began this week it's about 630 right now I've been up
1:14.6	kind of working through my plans sketching out my goals looking through this week
1:18.8	and dealing with the priorities and working hard to get back into kind of the more normal flow of life
1:24.9	but as I was thinking about the shows that I wanted to do this week I've wanted to just
1:29.6	simply talk about the concept of the giving economy and I'm not coming at it this morning from the perspective
1:38.1	of being a giver rather I'm just simply coming at it with a heart of gratitude of being richly blessed and having
1:48.0	been a receiver of the giving economy and it's just caused me to consider this morning how blessed I am and how I really
1:56.7	don't deserve it and thinking about number one how I can return some of those blessings
2:01.3	to other people but also just the major impact
2:04.3	of what a difference the blessings of other people helping me over the last
2:08.8	weeks and months has made in my life there are a few things that have come together. I'll just
