What if some of the most meaningful gifts you could give someone didn't cost a penny?

Generosity isn't always about writing a check or making a donation. Sometimes it's about offering encouragement, making someone feel welcome, telling someone a difficult truth, or simply being present when they need you.

In this episode of MOJO: The Meaning of Life and Business, Jennifer R. Glass welcomes Leslie Nelson, founder and CEO of Pivotal Connections and author of Giving Recklessly: Testimonials and Examples to Inspire Higher Levels of Generosity.

Leslie shares seven ways we can practice generosity without making a financial contribution, drawing on her experiences growing up in Philadelphia, her years as a military spouse, and the relationships that have shaped her life.

Jennifer and Leslie also discuss whether kindness is disappearing from society, the importance of mentoring, and how unexpected acts of generosity can create lasting friendships.

In this episode:

• How hospitality and belonging create meaningful connections

• Why honest feedback can be a valuable gift
