Two kinds of giving

The industrial economy taught us that it’s possible to create a thriving society on the backs of business models that build their foundation entirely around the first kind of giving, mostly ignoring the second.

The connection economy we find ourselves in today is teaching us (if we pay close attention) that humans hope for something more from their relationships than mere win-win transactions (yes, even their business relationships).

If we’re looking to create real, meaningful connections, we’ll need to start by committing to the emotional labor, empathy, vulnerability, and care that reflects giving of the second kind.
