Why Billionaires Can’t Save the World — But You Can | Suzanne Smith |#TGV691
Episode 691
Thursday, 22 January, 2026

SummaryIn this conversation, Suzanne Smith and Chanda Khanwani discuss the common misconceptions surrounding the role of money in making a difference in the world. They emphasize the importance of focusing on the core values and impact ('stake') rather than just the financial aspects ('sizzle'). The dialogue explores how money can be a tool to amplify efforts towards meaningful change, rather than the primary driver.Grab a copy of Naveen Samala’s latest book, “69 Naked Truths”Amazon: https://tinyurl.com/69NTAMZNFlipkart: https://tinyurl.com/69NTFPKTTakeawaysOne of the biggest myths is you need money to make a difference.Money helps fuel the efforts to create change.It's essential to start with a focus on impact.The concept of 'stake' should guide our actions.Money should follow the mission, not lead it.Everything done to make a difference should be stake-oriented.The 'sizzle' is secondary to the 'steak' in impact work.Opportunities arise when the focus is on meaningful change.Financial resources can amplify efforts but are not the core.True impact comes from a commitment to values and purpose.Suzanne shares:The story of becoming a Big Sister at age 18, and how it shaped her purpose.The daily moments that reaffirm her belief that ordinary people move mountains.Her definition of success:→ “Significance with receipts.”Guest LI profile link:https://www.linkedin.com/in/suzannesmithtx/Connect with the host on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/naveensamala/Also, Tune into our Hindi, Telugu & Kannada podcasts here:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/c/TGVHindihttps://www.youtube.com/c/TGVTeluguhttps://www.youtube.com/c/TGVKannadaSpotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1GvX6tvmfelawEba0F6KS4http://surl.li/tmksx (#tgvtelugu)Grab a copy of Naveen Samala’s latest book, “69 Naked Truths”Amazon: https://tinyurl.com/69NTAMZNFlipkart: https://tinyurl.com/69NTFPKTTGV Inspiring Lives Volume 1 & 2 are on AmazonKindle:https://amzn.eu/d/cKTKtyCPaperback:https://amzn.eu/d/4Y1HAXjVolume 2:Notion Press: http://surl.li/tmkryUse the Coupon code: NAVEEN20 on notionpress.com to avail a 20% discountKindle Edition:http://surl.li/tmmmnAMZ IN: http://surl.li/tmmnbAMZ UK: http://surl.li/tmmnlFOLLOW ON X:@guidingvoice@naveensamala Hosted on Acast.
