Episode 720: Most Generous Thing I've Heard in a Long Time by Ramit Sethi of I Will Teach You to be Rich (Generosity). Ramit wants to use money to say YES.

Not just for personal finance, but all aspects of life: money, careers, relationships, business, fitness, and more. Since then, he's been testing and sharing his findings with the world via I Will Teach You To Be Rich. He's also written a New York Times bestselling book, been profiled in a 6-page Fortune article, and been pictured next to Warren Buffett in Forbes Magazine, as well as been featured by a long list of media, including the Wall Street Journal, ABC News, NPR, Fox Business, PBS, CNBC, and more. He also has tons of documented success stories—more than 20,000.
