Bonus Holiday Episode: What do you do when you encounter someone asking for money? Do you try to quickly judge the sincerity of the request before giving? Do you avoid making eye contact? Do you give food instead of money? Do you give to trusted organizations instead of people?

At an earlier point in my life, that would have felt like the most irresponsible thing to do...but I'll relate the life-changing shift in perspective that helped me come to that conclusion - and the secret ingredient to making this actually work. Hint: I do my best to make sure that money isn't the only thing they receive. Find out what I mean by listening.
