Genius of Money Interview

This interview really appealed to me because it felt so pure, genuine and honest. Knowing that the person was answering the questions without any recognition, made the words so powerful. I felt engaged and found myself wanting to know more and more about the person as I read. And yes, I do believe the interviewee is a girl. One of the coolest things she talks about is why she decided to do philanthropy. When you think about giving back to people, humans' first instinct is to debate whether or not it is worth it to altruistically give. Knowing how time consuming helping others may be and the amount of effort expended, it is not always easy to lend a helping hand. She mentions that this is why she is mot a full time philanthropist; however, achieves incredible self fulfillment and happiness when she does help others. The biggest driving factor and motivation to do philanthropy is when you see that someone is suffering, and feel the urge to alleviate them from that need. I found that to be incredibly powerful. Sometimes people are just drawn to each other and you know that you can impact them in ways that will be beneficial to their life, and your soul. I also found it really cool that her way of connecting with others and their inner being is mediation. Recently, I have stumbled upon numerous people who use mediation daily and find it to be extremely soothing and relieving. I think that after reading so much about the benefits, I will be inclined to do some mediation of my own.
