DO YOU GIVE A DAMN?
IF SO, WELCOME HOME.
Let’s Give A Damn is a weekly podcast that celebrates incredible humans who aim to leave the planet much better than they found it by living absurdly intentional and ethical lives. We hope these stories inspire you to live more hope-filled and action-oriented lives. Why? Because live is too damn short and thoughts and prayers aren’t enough.

About The Host
Nick Laparra is the founder of Let’s Give A Damn — a multifaceted company that helps people live absurdly intentional and ethical lives.
The son of a Guatemalan immigrant, Nick was born in Upstate NY but moved to Guatemala with his parents and 11 siblings when he was a young boy. Since his time in Guatemala, Nick has visited over 30 countries engaging in various kinds of social impact work.
At his core, Nick is a passionate storyteller who doesn’t mince words or suggest band-aid fixes for life or death issues. He loves asking questions, traveling to new places, drinking coffee, and smoking cigars. Most of all, he loves working with damn-givers who are building fewer walls, longer bridges, and bigger tables with their lives and work.
He lives in New York City with his partner, Rebecca, and their three children, Solace, Belle, and Roman.
