Giving money away can come with happiness or regret.  Bridget Sullivan Mermel and John Scherer discuss how to avoid three flavors of donation regret.  Stay tuned for our tips on how to feel more of the warm glow of giving, too!

John uses his own stories to illustrate how donating can make you feel bad or good.  He talks about how he thinks about being scammed by a charity and what he learned from the experience.

We talk about public radio station changing formats, and feeling like you can't do enough to solve the world's problems.

Then we pivot to talk through John's company's giving program to celebrate, plus other tips on how to feel even better about donating.
