Do you want to start giving back but don’t know where to start? According to today’s guest, getting involved begins with finding your volunteering joy.
Doug Ross exemplifies the concept of living with purpose. He’s served in government on the federal, state and local level. Not only is Doug a teacher and a writer, but he leads an inspired life.
I’m thrilled to have him share his story. In this episode, you’ll learn why making a positive difference in the world means starting small.
We covered:
- How John F. Kennedy helped inspire Doug to make a difference in the world
- The first step to getting your foot in the door at a nonprofit organization
- Why the biggest virtue of retirement isn’t the absence of stress
- The time that you spend working on your eulogy vs. your resume
- Doug’s advice on how we can look at failure differently
- How to start defining what you would like to do (and what’s realistic)
