Description

What if the most radical thing you could do right now… was just one kind act?

In this episode, Matt West sits down with Change Reaction President, Wade Trimmer, to talk about generosity as a movement and a medicine. From buying flowers for strangers to standing in the gap where systems fail, we unpack how simple actions ripple out in powerful ways.

We also get into:

• Why the people with the least often give the most
• How food insecurity is being politicized and what we can do about it
• The myth of needing to “solve” everything before you start doing something
• Connection vs protection and bridging real divides

This one’s about heart, action, and remembering that we all have something extra to give.
