The Lift - A Client Giant Podcast - #14: (Season Finale) Pillars of a Healthy World

#14: (Season Finale) Pillars of a Healthy World

03/25/20 • 27 min

We went all over the globe, became artisans, artists, race car drivers, checked our anxiety at the door, and traveled in time to relive and recount profound moments. This season took us everywhere and made us feel every emotion anew again.
And the same way we began this season coming together on a trip to Thailand for a destination wedding, we end this season with a trip to different destinations of time and places. We get handed bus passes to Jay's journals to listen to stories of philanthropy small and big, from making friends with the friendless to teaching kids to surf 10,000 miles away from home, and grieving the birth of 26 angels.
No angles here, just real stories in going the extra mile to reach out and give back. After all, we are all on this delicate rock together.
Thank you for an amazing season, and we look forward to the next season.
Visit theliftpodcast.com to see photos of kids in Rwanda holding up their healthcare cards, a before and after comparison of drinking water in Tanzania, the Newtown Banners created by the Orange County community, Jay's Probation Center Badge, and images of monthly soup kitchen shifts.

To further understand Jay’s journeys, the entire collection of the South Africa and Stockholm journals can be found at thelift.clientgiant.com/journals

#13: Good Gone Viral

During these times, there’s a natural inclination to look inward and focus on protecting one’s self. After all, we’re taught to put the oxygen mask on ourselves before helping others. Yet as we distance ourselves from one another, it’s important to realize that we are now more connected than ever... and there is strength in numbers.

As we work to do what’s best for ourselves, our families, and our friends, let’s also do our best to focus the lens outward. When you’re unable to dine at your favorite restaurant, what happens to that business owner and their staff? When you cancel your group fitness class, what happens to that instructor’s income? If you’re able, maybe pay for that scheduled appointment that got cancelled. Or...if possible, take care of your landlord sooner knowing he/she may not be able to collect payment from others...it’s all a domino effect.

If we all zoom out for a second, we may be able to self-audit our resources and perhaps realize we have enough. Maybe even enough to notice we might have the power to help someone else in need. Sure, it might be scary. But I can promise you, it’ll be worth it. No one ever went broke from giving.

Jay, Jeff, and the Client Giant family are committed to doing what we can to go outside the scope of what’s expected. If you, a family member, a friend, or a distant acquaintance are going through a dire time right now, we want to know. Maybe we can help.

Please email us the details at [email protected] and we will be spending this week doing what we do best in trying to help. Stay healthy, stay safe. This too shall pass.
