Being Charitable and Profitable at the Same Time, with Jason Etheridge, Logic Speak (One Minute Interview, Episode 129)
Jason Etheridge: I do think it’s possible to be both charitable and profitable.
But you have to decide that first. You can’t be profitable first and then decide to be charitable. Because we all know the more we get, the more we feel like we have to hold on to it. Being charitable for us is like opening our hands and recognizing that not everything we have is for our use and for our benefit.
And that was one of the reasons that we added to the community in our mission statement is that we wanted to recognize that we always are out for. Helping and serving other people including our community so in order to be profitable and charitable, you have to decide first you have to put the big rock in first Secondly, you have to recognize that maybe you don’t want that Ferrari that you thought you wanted when you were young You can still be profitable and healthy and give back as well.
At the end of my days, when I’m up at the front of a church in a casket, I don’t know that the cars that I drove or the really nice things that I have are going to be what I’m remembered for, or at least I hope not. It should be, what I did and how I impacted other people.
Those are some of the ways that, that we think about being charitable and profitable.
