#78 Building Your Social Wealth w/ Nipun Mehta P2
Money cannot buy you happiness. We have all heard this famous quote, but is this the right way of viewing life?

For Nipun Mehta, simple acts of kindness, compassion, and giving are forms of wealth that are oftentimes more treasured than tangible money. He is the founder of ServiceSpace, a series of volunteers that center around the gift-economy, and has won multiple awards for his passion in helping others.
