S1E10: The Legacy of a Generous Life

In this last episode of the season, Todd and Dax zoom out and talk about what all of this has been for—not just stories, but hopefully inspiring a way of living that leaves a real legacy. Todd shares how his life shifted when he moved from chasing the world’s version of success to chasing a life of generosity with his heart, time, talent, and resources. They talk about obedience over outcome, the quiet ripple effect of small acts, and the vision behind Simply People and inviting 10 million people into a more generous way of life. If you’ve ever wondered whether your “yes” really matters, this conversation is a reminder that simple, everyday obedience can shape a legacy far beyond what you can see.Check out Simply People!🌐 Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://simplypeople.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📸 Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/simplypeopleinc ⁠

S1E09: The Gift of Time

Time is one of the easiest things to overlook, yet one of the most generous things we can give. In this episode, Todd and Dax talk about what it really looks like to slow down enough to notice people, be present, and let yourself be interrupted. Todd shares stories from his own life: being the new kid who felt unseen, mentors who made space when he needed it, moments with kids he’s walked alongside, and even how a simple connection in Nigeria made a lasting impact. If you’ve ever wondered how to be generous when you don’t feel like you have much to offer, this episode is a reminder that showing up, listening, and giving someone your time can matter more than you think.Check out Simply People!🌐 Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://simplypeople.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📸 Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/simplypeopleinc ⁠

S1E08: Learning from Failure and Finding Purpose in the Detours

Todd and Dax talk about what happens when good plans fall apart and everything goes differently than you hoped. Todd shares a story from Uganda where the plan to help didn’t go the way he expected, but what seemed like failure turned into a second chance to make a difference. Together they explore how to navigate disappointment, why failure can sometimes make space for something better, and how to recognize purpose in moments that don’t go according to plan.

S1E04: The Tension of Generosity

Todd and Dax talk about the tension that comes with wanting to live openheartedly in a world that sometimes takes more than it gives back. They wrestle with questions like: What do you do when you’ve given and felt taken advantage of, or when your kindness is met with silence instead of gratitude? Our hope is that this conversation encourages you to keep your heart open, even when it would be easier not to.Check out Simply People!🌐 Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://simplypeople.org⁠⁠⁠⁠📸 Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/simplypeopleinc ⁠
