In the inaugural episode of the For the Love of Humanity Podcast, host Cecelia Caspram redefines philanthropy (a word that has come to mean “big bucks” and is now considered an “industry”) by urging a return to its roots — love of humanity.
She explores how professionalizing philanthropy has distanced it from its core purpose, and she shares her personal reflections on achieving a truer philanthropy… through inner healing and growing community.
She calls for a collective shift away from individualism — to foster solidarity and compassion, ultimately aiming to transform both the field of professionalized philanthropy… and our wider world and shared reality.
This episode sets the foundation for the themes and conversations that will be featured in podcast-episodes-yet-to-come.
