You could use some good news. Today on Morning Brew’s Business Casual podcast, we’re delivering just that—a conversation on the business of giving back with charity: water founder Scott Harrison.

Charity: water’s not your average nonprofit. Harrison has made the organization’s business model famous in the finance world for his focus on almost radical transparency and a nontraditional banking setup.

• In this episode, Harrison goes deep on how that works...and justifies the highly unique, heavily Silicon Valley-influenced (and sometimes criticized) model.

Plus, Harrison—who’s a former nightclub promoter—has something of an unorthodox approach to marketing that sheds light on more than just the nonprofit community. Small taste? He’s more concerned with what Nike or Apple is doing than what his direct competitor is doing.

This episode might make you feel better in a downer of a news cycle, but that doesn’t mean we’re holding back on the business analysis. America’s 1+ million charities raked in $427.7 billion in contributions in 2018—meaning charitable giving is big business.

Listen now and let us know what you think.

Episode 354: Neal and Toby recap the 1st presidential debate between President Biden and Republican nominee Donald Trump.

The right move? Also, Amazon plans to launch its own fast-fashion service similar to Shein to maintain its hold as the top retailer. Next, Al Michaels is the stock of the week and Walgreens is the dog of the week. Meanwhile, a new study suggests that daily multivitamins don’t actually help with longer life. Lastly, the International Space Station has an expiration date and NASA has tasked SpaceX to take out the trash.

Who pays for it? It’s a question you hear all the time, especially when we’re talking about trillions of dollars in government spending.

And with the U.S. government operating at a $3.1 trillion deficit in 2020, it’s an especially relevant question. But more and more, economists are beginning to wonder if it’s worth asking. Since the U.S. issues its own currency, does it need to bother thinking about who foots the bill?

That’s what we’re exploring today on the show with Stephanie Kelton, professor, economist, author of The Deficit Myth, and face of the modern monetary theory movement.

You might not agree with what Stephanie has to say...but she’ll certainly give you some food for thought. Listen now.

Meanwhile, Apple wants to tap into the health industry, starting with its AirPods that now be used as a hearing aid. Lastly, ever wonder what the National Security Agency is up to?
