Share This Post

Marc Schulz shares key findings on the secret to happiness from the longest longitudinal study in the world (the Study of Adult Development at Harvard Medical School), which has profiled thousands of people over 84 years, why success and career don’t fulfill people, why deep relationships do, and why it’s never too late to grow happier and how to do it.

Leadr

Today’s podcast is all about creating more meaningful lives through our connections to others. What if we carried this mindset into our workplace as well?

My friends at Leadr believe that employee engagement is driven by each person’s relationship with their manager and whether or not they are being consistently cared for and developed.

They’ve created the first-ever People Development Software to help you implement healthy leadership habits from 1:1 meetings, to two-way feedback, to goal-setting and more for a more engaged and healthy team.

Because people want to be led and developed. Not managed.

Overflow

Are you leaving money on the table? If you’re only accepting cash donations at your church, this could be the case.

Did you know that 90% of wealth is actually in NON-cash assets? When cash is the only giving option, you’re putting a lid on generosity.

Overflow is here to lift that lid, and unlock more ways to give. Overflow is an online software that empowers donors to easily give non-cash assets (such as stock) to churches in minutes, not months.

Why is this important? Well, the average cash donation in the U.S. is just $128, but the average stock donation through Overflow is over $10,000.

The days of giving the church the ‘leftovers’ are behind us. It’s time to empower your donors to give from their “overflow.”

Let’s unlock more giving channels for the Kingdom together. Go to overflow.co/carey to learn how.
