Discover how small acts ripple outward, when to set giving boundaries, and how to give sustainably. Learn your helping style, conduct an energy audit, and practice intentional kindness to avoid burnout. This episode is for those who want to help others with longevity and heart. 

In this episode of the Journey of My Mother's Son podcast, I talk with Bryan Driscoll. Bryan is a first-time author with a passion for inspiring kindness and creating positive change in the world. Twenty years ago, a stranger literally picked him up off the street and gave him a plate of spaghetti and a bedroom he had to share with an oversized cat. This small act of kindness sparked an unending desire to pay it forward, ultimately leading to the goodness game. That one small act of kindness left an indelible mark on Bryan's life and set off a ripple effect that lasted over twenty years now, with most recently leading him to write his first book, The Goodness Game. Bryan states, “It all started with a single act of kindness. About 20 years ago, I found myself at a crossroads in life-lost and unsure of where I was heading. That's when a kind stranger, a woman I'll never forget, picked me up off the street and gave me a helping hand when I needed it most. This small act changed the entire course of my life, reminding me of the power one person can have on another's future.” “Years later, I decided to pay it forward. Inspired by that experience, I made a simple Craigslist post offering free help to anyone in need. The response was overwhelming, and that small gesture quickly caught the attention of local media. The story spread across the country, making national headlines as a shining example of how small acts of kindness can create a ripple effect far larger than you ever imagined.” He lives in Pittsburgh with an amazing wife who puts up with his insanity—and probably encourages it more than she should. He has three sons, all different and awesome in their own way. They say they get their awesomeness from their father, and he won't argue, even if everyone knows the truth. He runs a successful digital marketing agency and is an active real estate investor, though he'd tell you his biggest strength is getting back up when life punches him in the face. And it's punched him quite a few times, though a few of those punches might have been deserved. When he's not working, Bryan enjoys mountain biking, skiing with his sons, and spending time with his family. He focuses on living in the moment, avoiding the distractions of social media, and helping others achieve personal and professional growth through public speaking and teaching.

Bryan Driscoll discusses random acts of kindness and how they can spark an unending desire to pay it forward. Check out www.goodnessgame.com

“…Give without remembering,” encourages Bryan Driscoll, the creator of the goodness game who prefers to give out of the spotlight. “It's not about me, “ he says, humbly.  Driscoll suggests several “rules” for playing the goodness game. “One way is to be the only one who knows what you're doing… helping from afar. [The] second is where only you and the recipient knows what you're doing. There's no bragging. No posting on social media. The only way you can let anyone else know is if you engage their help.”  — the goodness game rulesTwenty five years ago Bryan Driscoll found himself at a crossroads. He was 18 years old and preparing to spend the night at a bus station in Orlando, Florida when a stranger offered him a hot meal and a place to sleep. It was that simple act of kindness that launched his desire to pay it forward, offering help to anyone who needed it. He placed an ad on Craigslist, and what happened after that became the impetus for what happened next. As he tells us, Bryan Driscoll is just your average guy, a real estate developer and marketing expert from Pittsburg Pennsylvania whose book, the goodness game, reminds us that we can all make a difference, one small act at a time.Bryan Driscoll is a first-time author with a passion for inspiring kindness and creating positive change in the world. He lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where he runs a successful digital marketing agency. He credits his amazing wife with putting up with his insanity—and probably encourages it more than she should. He has three sons, all different and awesome in their own way. They say they get their awesomeness from their father, and he won't argue, even if everyone knows the truth. As you listen to this episode, consider:“Give without remembering,” Bryan encourages. Can you challenge yourself to give anonymously, without fanfare or appreciation?Helping is easier when we recognize our helping style. Some of us are physical helpers. Others emotional. Still others financial. What is your helping style? When giving is a planned activity, Bryan says, it's more likely that you will be able to commit to it long term; for example, having a “give fund” for cash donations, or a “time fund” for in person helping. Can you create a plan to engage in your community?You can learn more about the giving game here.Do you know someone who has a story to tell? Someone who is giving back to their community?

Many real estate investors think foreclosures are too messy to touch. But this week's guest proves they're actually some of the most profitable deals in real estate. David Randolph has spent 15 years perfecting the art of short sales -  a real estate strategy that's not just about profit but also about helping families in foreclosure. He breaks it all down in a way that's easy to understand, even if you're new to the concept. Short sales, as he explains, aren't just about buying houses for less than they're worth—they're about stepping in to stop foreclosures and negotiating directly with banks to create win-win scenarios.  Beyond the basics, David shares some jaw-dropping success stories (like buying a house for $29,600 and selling it for $275,000!) and his favorite tricks for getting banks to accept lower offers. He even offers a free two-hour workshop to teach you everything you need to know. If you've been curious about adding a powerful new tool to your real estate toolkit, this is the episode for you.
