(You can hear the whole episode on July 4th)

Sybil offers tips on how to broaden your network and optimize your effectiveness as a giver. Donors can go into tunnel mode, only communicating with a select few people; this can lead to poor decisions and the donation of your hard-earned funds to the wrong organization. Talk to as many individuals as possible, and if you don't have the time, enlist the help of others who are well-versed in the subject matter.
