Summary:
In this episode, Dan is joined by his friend and fellow Christian Chris McCluskey to discuss the unnecessary separation between doing “good” for others and doing “good” for yourself. Listen as Dan and Chris talk about scripture’s role surrounding money, why giving away charitably isn’t always what’s best for people in need, and why meeting people in a place of vulnerability is the best way to find out what they really require to improve their lives.

Dan Thanks for having Chris on most of the show with you. Valuable and encouraging Scripture in 1st Timothy! as we are in that book in my Men’s Study!Being in the gaps of peoples lives through business we can be encouraging, sharing a route that HE would have us go. Yes I know you risked on talking about some views many may not see but for me Thumbs Up..
I love these podcast that you mention and clarify the differences between for and non profit businesses. I have always been torn by this. And Chris is an AWESOME speaker full of clarity and wisdom as well. GREAT podcast today guys!
Dan & Chris, great message today. Thank you for keeping God front and center, it is such a misconception that money is bad. I still think Dave Ramsey says it best: The love of money is bad. The are several examples of wealth in the Bible (King Solomon, and others). I appreciate your focus in this post.
Joeri – thanks for your comments.
This was a great discussion on mindset. I have heard Dan talk about Swiss dollars for so long and now some of my eBooks are making me money. We do need to understand the abundance that is out there.
Tom – thanks for your comments. Yes, abundance is available if we just recognize it.
Awesome episode! Especially the talk around social entrepreneurship. You mentioned an Inc article highlighting how TOMS is changing their model. I can’t seem to find that article, but really want to see how they are pivoting.
Any chance you have a link?
