Tune it to learn both the pros and cons of this strategy, and find out if it’s the right next move for your business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Related Articles:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.serenialife.ca/learn/be-your-own-bank-infinite-banking-canada/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Be Your Own Bank: Infinite Banking (Canada) for Small Business Owners&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.serenialife.ca/learn/life-insurance-for-business-owners/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Life Insurance for Business Owners&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.serenialife.ca/learn/protect-your-small-business-your-family-yourself/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Protect Your Small Business, Your Family &amp;amp; Yourself &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.serenialife.ca/learn/the-compound-effect-grow-your-money-with-whole-life-insurance/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Compound Effect: Grow Your Money with Whole Life Insurance &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.serenialife.ca/learn/how-to-withdraw-money-from-your-life-insurance-policy/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;How to Withdraw Money from Your Life Insurance Policy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.serenialife.ca/learn/infinite-banking-canada/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Is Infinite Banking in Canada Only for the 1%?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Visit our website: &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.serenialife.ca/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SereniaLife.ca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sign up for email: &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.serenialife.ca/Sign-Up/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SereniaLife.ca./Sign-Up⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Follow us on social media:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/SereniaLife/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/serenialife/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.linkedin.com/company/serenialife/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The information provided in The Kinder Way Podcast is for educational purposes only, and is not intended as a substitute for professional advice from a licensed advisor.

Our host sits down with a colleague who not only leads our Member Benefits program but is also passionate about supporting her community. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Together, they explore how a company’s commitment to charitable programs shapes their purchasing choices – and why small businesses that give back to the community can sometimes create an even bigger community impact than the large ones! You’ll also walk away with practical ideas for giving back on a budget. So tune, relax, and enjoy! (And don’t forget to stick around for the sprinkle of kindness at the end!)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Related Articles:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.serenialife.ca/learn/9-ways-to-give-more-spend-less-this-holiday-season/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;9 Ways to Give More &amp;amp; Spend Less This Holiday Season&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.serenialife.ca/learn/ready-to-take-action-9-ideas-for-your-next-fundraising-event/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;9+ Ideas to Put the FUN In Your Next Fundraiser&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.serenialife.ca/learn/for-the-season-of-giving-support-one-of-canadas-top-rated-charities/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;For the Season of Giving, Support One of Canada’s Top-Rated Charities&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.serenialife.ca/learn/remember-to-include-your-pets-in-your-will/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;For Pet&apos;s Sake: Remember to Include Your Furry Friends in Your Will &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Learn more about our benefits:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.serenialife.ca/member-benefits/fundraiser-benefit/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Fundraiser Benefit &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.serenialife.ca/member-benefits/volunteer-benefit/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Volunteer Benefit &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Visit our website: &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.serenialife.ca/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SereniaLife.ca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sign up for email: &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.serenialife.ca/Sign-Up/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SereniaLife.ca./Sign-Up⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Follow us on social media:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/SereniaLife/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/serenialife/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.linkedin.com/company/serenialife/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The information provided in The Kinder Way Podcast is for educational purposes only, and is not intended as a substitute for professional advice from a licensed advisor.

If you’ve ever lost a loved one, you know how difficult it can be to navigate grief while funeral planning.
