Show Notes:
Both prosperity and generosity must coexist. LaRayia Gaston is proof positive of that. She founded the nonprofit, Lunch On Me, to enrich the mind, body, and spirit of the homeless community and, of course, make sure they are fed. LaRayia even spent 43 days living in Skid Row voluntarily so that she could see and understand what actually happens there. What she saw shook her. This episode is going to pull on your heartstrings and inspire you to take action to grow your business so that you have even more opportunities to make a difference.
