The more we give to each other,
the more we all receive.

Your contributions directly determine how globally I can spread the spirit of generosity.

When we start to feel overwhelmed emotionally, we can shrink into ourselves, avoiding our problems and avoiding ourselves.

And this is when we most need the help of friends…but often we don’t have the skills or courage to ask for it or receive it.

When we fear others might give us less, we start to give others less.

It can lead to a downward spiral of generosity, where we become more and more transactional with each other and ourselves.

And I believe I have been creating upward spirals of generosity and I need your help to expand my reach.

I have been doing this in a more localized way for many years: one-on-one conversations, a few small group trainings, and impacting the people in my general surroundings. I believe it is both urgent and important to scale these skills and experiences to a much more global audience.

I will do this work no matter how many resources I have, fighting the urge to become less generous. What you help me determine is the scale.

Therefore the purpose of this page is to show you how my focus on training myself has been helping many of you and to ask you to help me expand my global reach by giving me more resources to do so.

    I give because I think you are a person who leads with the heart first, and genuinely wants to help people not for what you get out of it, but for what people could do if they have true love and support.

There are many ways to give power that are non-financial:
  • Network power—connect me with people who want to host me on their show (podcast/radio/tv/YouTube), to speak at their organization, run emotional combat (emōkō) workshops with them, and more of the other ways below.
  • Visual power—help me improve the look of my website, my wardrobe, my products, my everything.
  • Intellectual power—introduce me to new ideas, new books, new frameworks, new conversations, and more.

Giving more to us all

The Jim Kleiber Show, where I can help train people implicitly through them learning from me informally.

  • Jim & Friends guest episodes—1-2hr+ long-form conversations with people from various walks of life, to show how to build, maintain, and repair friendships with people no matter what we talk about.
  • Ask Jim Anything—30-min video episodes with 10 questions from you all, where I answer in 2.5 minutes each.
  • DailyJim—5-15 min audio episodes where I reflect personally about current events and challenges in my life that may impact us all.

Emotional combat (emōkō), where I can help train people in a more structured, formal way.

  • emōkō drills—very short audio drills to help us train on communicating how we feel and how we imagine others might feel.
  • emōkō HQ forum—a site with extensive documentation of the theory and principles and practices.
