Great article (as always) Michelle! Thoughtful and genuine giving, but not at the expense of yourself and your relationship with the other, is absolutely more difficult than it sounds.

This absolutely is one, and it will usually give you a diverse diet as well haha!

I like the content on your profile, new follower here 😁

Awesome! Let's hope many will follow.

Thanks Steven! And indeed, really nice to see people being interested in these stories.

How have things been for you lately?

Thanks MQ, always great to hear from you!

Great book, and a bunch of helpful mental models not seen before!

Couldn't agree more, these skills work in any context!

Glad I found your profile and blog, Gary. It's got some nice personal takes on traditional personal finance topics!

Can I ask how you taught your own kids, if you have them, about money?

New follower here! 😁

I really enjoy that combination of making money and using it in a meaningful way for others, Anthony. Might I ask what you current philanthropic activities look like?

Can I ask a question out of curiosity about your profession: How do you find these people?

They come from different walks of life with very unique stories, so getting them all together in one article seems like quite the effort!

I'm really happy to hear the story resonates! I couldn't find anything on this experience online, but at the same time also didn't believe I was the only one to have it.

Your reply means more than you think, Tom. It's validating I'm on the right track with this, thank you!

I really liked this article and the humble takes of these individuals on how they've been building their life around what makes them happy and at peace.

Nothing short of inspiring, thanks for this Frances!

Always good to make sure there is a thought behind the actions! How has your strategy changed over time, Thom?

Glad you like it!

Good to see you back here Josh, and actually quite enjoyed this supermarket stock trip!

Had Beyond Meat in my own portfolio a few years ago when I was in the early stages of investing, and am glad I got rid of it due to the stress it gave haha!
