The Ripple Effect of Giving: Imad Yassin on Philanthropy, Impact & The Idris Foundation
Description
What drives someone to step beyond their comfort zone and dedicate their life to helping others?
In this episode of Mindful Makers, I sit down with Imad Yassin, Founder & Chairman of The Idris Foundation, whose journey from scientist to humanitarian was anything but planned. What started as an unexpected pivot became a lifelong commitment to creating generational change.
We explore:
✨ The silent barriers to kindness, empathy & connection
✨ Choosing vulnerability and why stepping into discomfort brings us closer
✨ How selfless acts of service reshape our sense of purpose
✨ The power of education in refugee camps, especially for girls
✨ Why trust & transparency in philanthropy are essential
✨ The addictive nature of giving, and why it transforms us as much as others
✨ How mindfulness & media consumption impact our ability to give
