Whether we acknowledge it or not, our relationship with money impacts several avenues of our life and the world at large. So often, many people confuse self-worth with net worth — money equals security and an esteemed life. Robert Strock explores how a few people have obtained excessive riches, which requires being born in an environment that offers unique opportunities. In contrast, this has been simply impossible for others. Now, as the world teeters on a dangerous precipice, those that have excesses have a chance to give back a greater percentage of what they've earned for the wellbeing of the planet, to increase the chances of humanity surviving and thriving in the coming generations.
The right ideas coupled with systemic structural changes can channel money for healing results across the globe. There's a moment of caution, though, against taking ideas to the extreme (asking someone to donate almost all their money) or giving too little when you're a multi-billion dollar corporation. In this turning point for humanity, it is necessary for those who have the golden opportunity to become a part of the solution, rather than continue the cycle of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. We have the capacity to turn this around, but it requires thinking outside the box and changing the way the world has functioned through millennia. When we find natural motivation to contribute, we move one step further to a life of fulfillment and some can even experience it as fun, not burdensome responsibility.
We can use money to make a direct, tangible, and good impact on the world — to improve and benefit humanity. Robert and Dave offer six movie suggestions to further listeners' learning on regenerative agriculture, expand their perspectives, and update their brains to move out of helplessness and despair and to take action to better life in this world.
