Matt Cone is a philanthropist and philosopher. I met Matt on a retreat in Thailand 2 years ago. He shared something called 'The Abundance Model', a philosophy and system for dealing with money. I was a bit skeptical at first, but practiced it anyway and found that 1) My wealth increased greatly, 2) I felt totally different about money. It's actually less about money and more about your view of the future.This model has inspired today's episodes 'sponsor', TheNeighborFund.comThe Neighbor Fund is a collectively driven charity to spread abundance in the world. Donors commit a small amount, then get to vote on how those funds are distributed in the world.
