Bald, Blind, and Buddies

Generosity and giving with Cherian Koshy


Listen Later

John Boland and Timothy Cordes welcome Cherian Koshy, author of Neurogiving: The Science of Donor Decision-Making to the Bald, Blind and Buddies podcast.

Cherian Koshy describes the benefits of generosity considering that “generosity is the new green juice.” The Buddies and Cherian examine the gaps between the how and why of giving and how strategies can make giving easier for those predisposed to give.

They consider whether some giving is better than others, if a truly selfless act exists, and if that matters.

Meanwhile, they touch on the Met Gala, electoral reform, Congress, and the University of Notre Dame.
