My generosity has limits


Listen Later

Generosity is about a lot more than just money. We pondered this reality from a few points of view. And we found ourselves thinking through a lot of questions. 

For example: 

  • Is it possible to think about being generous with time separately from money? 
  • Is it possible to scale our impact while still protecting our professional (and thus personal) time? 
  • In what ways can we extend to other people the same assumption we grant ourselves — that we’re all trying to be a “good guy” — and what are the mutual benefits of doing so? 
  • What kinds of expert knowledge, processes, network connections, and/or materials do and don’t we share..and why? (And what differences here should we be scrutinizing wrt how individual scicommers/trainers operate vs. the big scicomm organizations?) 

Bottom line: Generosity doesn’t always have to focus on financials. So, how else can we create abundance, together, beyond the bounds of money? 

Dig in for yourself: What’s a non-montetary form of generosity that you practice professionally? 

Thanks for listening! We’re hoping for a community potluck 🥗🍛: Connect with us on social media (BlueSky, LinkedIn, Twitter, various Slack communities, etc.) or at www.meteorscicomm.org.

P.S. If you missed it, we’re going to try something new next season —  guests!!! Deets here if you want to join. And, if anyone listening reading has funding to help us compensate guests, please let us know!
