I have asked myself this question many times.
Why not just donate quietly and keep it private?
The honest truth is this.
Doing it publicly creates more impact.
More reach. More support. More help for people who need it.
2025 has been an incredible year for me on many levels.
And that has little to do with me alone.
It is because of all of you. Friends. Partners. Customers. Mentors. My network.
More than 14,000 people follow my work now.
I use this network to sell my workshops.
So why not also use it to support something bigger than my own business?
I feel a responsibility here.
If you have a strong network, you can use it for more than sales.
You can use it to create real value for others too.
Yes, doing this publicly might look good for my brand.
That is unavoidable.
But it is not the intention.
Let me be very honest.
Before judging someone for running a public charity campaign, it helps to look at your own contributions first.
If you already help in your own way, thank you.
If not, maybe give the people who try a bit of grace.
