Watch This Entrepreneur Solve the Flaws That Ruin Most Charity In 55 Minutes | Ep 50 - Brokers of Secrets | Lyssna här

Subconscious patterns around giving and self-worth drive more behavior than most people realize. If you have ever felt like your value depends on how much you do for others, or noticed that generosity never quite fills the void inside, this episode exposes the unconscious transaction running beneath the surface of most "selfless" acts.

Dave Guttman is a serial entrepreneur with eight and nine figure exits over a 35-year career, a Brown and Wharton graduate, and the co-founder of 30 Acts of Kindness, a nonprofit aiming for 10 billion acts of kindness in ten years. In this conversation with William Lam, Dave breaks down how tribalism keeps people stuck in comparison loops, why most people are uncomfortable in their own skin, and how stripping the transactional layer from giving creates real transformation. This episode is for high performers who give endlessly but still feel like they are not enough.
