375. In Remembrance: Radical Generosity with John Ruhlin
Manage episode 435014742 series 2416576
This episode is a rebroadcast of an interview with John Ruhlin. John unexpectedly passed away recently. He leaves behind a wife and four young children. We’re rebroadcasting this episode to both remind us of the beautiful legacy John created, and to encourage listeners to consider donating to his children’s education fund.
John truly cared about helping people and making the world better. His “Biggest Helping” advice was to give more than is reasonable. I hope you’ll join me in following his lead as we support his family during this heartbreaking time.

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway
You'll never regret giving more than is reasonable in most situations. People hold back five or ten percent in relationships. We don't want to be taken advantage of. We're afraid of getting hurt. Paul lived his life the exact opposite. He would he always asked himself, what's the most I can do in the situation? And when you live life like that you show up at a huge show up at pizza shop and he'd be like what's the most I can do here I can pick up the tab for the entire restaurant it's gonna cost 800 bucks but all the I love 90% of these people I know and I love and he would just do it that's just who he was and so I picked up that mentality and do I do it perfectly? No. Sometimes I suck sometimes my wife you know thinks I'm a jerk like I'm not perfect in it but the idea of giving more than is reasonable and going all in on people like that's where you separate yourself and give that, you know, everybody says go the extra mile, give 110%. But I don't think they actually actually live it. And they're willing to do that with their time and with their pocketbook. When you do that with whatever level you're at, people notice it shocks and awes them. You become memorable in their mind. And so I would say that give more than is reasonable is the thing that I've tried to live my life around and build my life on and it's it's paid back huge dividends and it's just fun.
