In this episode of the EP.IC podcast, host Edric discusses the concept of 'low key philanthropy' with guest Danielle Van De Velde, a public speaker, author, and expert in meditation and transformative practices. Danielle shares her own business practices, which include donating a substantial portion of her proceeds to over 40 causes and charities across Southeast Asia. The conversation explores the importance of businesses considering their 'double bottom line' — not just financial success but also social impact. Danielle and Edric delve into how small businesses can start making a difference, the measurable and spiritual benefits of altruism, and practical tips for integrating philanthropy into business operations. Danielle also highlights how meditation and inner practices can contribute to both personal and professional growth. The episode ends with actionable advice for business owners on how to give back effectively and the importance of intention behind philanthropic efforts.For more information on Dani's work and her communities, visit : https://daniellevandevelde.com/Chapters00:00 Welcome to the Epic Podcast00:19 Introducing Our Guest: Danny Vanderbilt01:20 The Importance of Double Bottom Lines02:15 Exploring Impact in Business04:55 Small Business Philanthropy in Action07:53 Creative Ways to Give Back12:55 Personal Journey and Altruism17:07 The Energy of Giving25:09 The Cycle of Intent and Action25:21 Impact of Small Acts of Kindness26:09 Reevaluating Life Post-COVID26:57 Finding Purpose and Meaning28:33 Supporting Small Business Owners29:26 Corporate Social Responsibility33:15 Spirituality and Altruism34:14 Quantum Entanglement and Interconnectedness39:08 The Evolution of Leadership41:57 Future Plans and Projects44:00 Epic Questionnaire48:29 Conclusion and Farewell#Business #People #Stories #podcast #Edric Poon In Company #EPICPodcast #Singapore #Asia #B2B #BusinessOwners #entrepreneur
