In this episode, I interview Jenn Klein, founder and CEO of 'You Are a Philanthropist' and author of 'Giving is Selfish'. She discusses her mission to spread awareness about the joy and health benefits of giving back to communities and the broader world. She explains the concept of the 'helper's high' and the mental and physical health benefits of volunteering. Jenn shares her journey from a fundraiser to a mother and author, speaking about the importance of role models in instilling the value of giving back in individuals from a young age.

We also talk about the challenges people face in volunteering, such as time constraints, and suggests ways to overcome these barriers. Jenn aims to redefine philanthropy to include small acts of kindness and contributions that everyone can make to recognize their potential to impact their communities positively.
