EPISODE 65
My guest and philanthropist SHEroe, Lisa Bilodeau explains the main "T's" of philanthropy:
Time, Talent, Treasure, Testimony, and Ties
Time. You are researching about something; you're connecting with other people. You're volunteering. Perhaps you're taking stuff somewhere.
Talent, you are skilled in some things. You can help somebody,0 help a group, an organization, help one person, whatever your skill is. Walking alongside somebody is talent in action.
Treasure can be money, can be services, goods, resources.
Testimony is sharing about the organizations or the places you hear or the people who have needs with others. Sharing this podcast is a good example of testimony.
Ties are our networks, centers of influence, family, friends, colleagues, etc.
EPISODE 66 – Philanthropist Expert
Sheree Meredith helped me understand the word Philanthropy and view it from today lens.
Philanthropy is no longer reserved for older white men with influence and wealth.
Philanthropy is for ALL of us and is best approached from our individual personal values and interests.
We also discussed how women approach philanthropy quite differently than men and she shared some great research and examples of the impact women have.

Jennifer Arthurton suffered a radical change in her life in her 50s, and from that upheaval she found her super power and new role in life; The Old Chicks Know Shit Podcast!

At the same time, I have asked my listeners to celebrate my second birthday – as a podcaster and founder and host of the Lift As You Climb Podcast.
I asked Sheree Meredith to join me so that we could explore why women don't always give themselves enough credit for, and just how significantly, we impact global economies.
As an expert, she shares were women have wealth, and what they can do with it to make a difference for themselves, their own families, their communities, and around the world.
Sheree and I discuss “The Power of the Purse” and women’s role today as stewards of their own, inherited, and generational wealth.
If these themes resonate with you or you are just curious, I encourage you to dive in and listen or watch the full episode.
