Becky was diagnosed with Crohn's disease at 15 and thought her life was basically over. Spoiler: it wasn't. In this episode we talk about what Crohn's actually looks like day-to-day (fatigue, pain, planning your life around toilets…), the mindset shift that helped her stop shrinking her dreams, and why success sometimes looks like getting out of bed and having a shower — not “hustling” yourself into the ground.We also get into Becky's Everest Base Camp trek attempt, the reality of doing big adventures with an unpredictable body, and the one comment from a stranger that perfectly sums up why invisible illness is such a minefield.Key takeawaysCrohn's isn't “a dodgy tummy” — it's an autoimmune disease with physical and mental load.You can still build a full life, but you may need to do it differently (and that's not failure).The fatigue is real even in remission — “slept 9 hours, feel like 3” levels of real.Invisible illness comes with invisible planning: toilets, timing, travel anxiety, the whole mental spreadsheet.You're allowed to redefine success — especially when your body is fighting you.Turning back isn't quitting. Sometimes it's the bravest, smartest decision you can make.People will judge what they don't understand (“you can't be that sick…”) — don't let that rewrite your reality.Kindness matters more than most people realise. “Be kind” isn't cringe — it's necessary.Timestamps00:00 Intro + “How have you dared and won?”00:14 Diagnosed at 15: believing life was “over”02:22 The pressure of school + the long road to diagnosis/remission04:24 Quitting A-levels, finding snowboarding, becoming an instructor (the pivot)05:43 The biggest misconception: “it's just a tummy issue”06:32 The day-to-day reality: exhaustion, pain, urgency, immunosuppressants08:39 Everest Base Camp planning + how Crohn's derailed it (and why she still went)28:00 Turning back at altitude + hospital in Kathmandu (ego vs survival)33:44 Fundraising wins + choosing your life anyway48:17 Misconception: “you can control it with diet” + the wider symptoms (arthritis, mouth ulcers)49:58 “You can't be that sick…” — the invisible illness moment that stuckMentionedCrohn's & Colitis UK (resources, support, info for patients + employers)Join Dare Club: https://stan.store/shewhodareswinswww.shewhodareswins.com - Code POD10 Hosted on Acast.

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, has spent the past few days doing what he does best: blending spectacle, business strategy, and a carefully managed public image into one nonstop storyline. In his home state of North Carolina, local outlet Chapelboro reports that he is set to appear at the UNC men's basketball game against USC Upstate, where he will run a ten thousand dollar giveaway exclusively for students, with an in‑arena appearance at halftime and the giveaway taking place after the final buzzer. That kind of campus‑scale stunt is classic MrBeast: hyperlocal, highly photogenic, and guaranteed to generate social clips that will live far beyond one night in the Dean Smith Center.On the business front, the longer arc of his empire may be shifting in a profound way. TechCrunch reports that his new CEO at Beast Industries, Jeff Housenbold, has openly floated the idea of a future public offering, saying they want the roughly 1.4 billion unique viewers who watched MrBeast content in the last 90 days to have a chance to be owners of the company. That is not a formal IPO filing, but it is a clear, on‑the‑record signal that an eventual listing is on the table, and it would mark one of the first true creator‑led conglomerates to step onto public markets, with Feastables candy now described as the most profitable piece of the business.At the same time, MrBeast is leaning even harder into philanthropy as brand strategy. The 1 Billion Followers Summit has launched a global campaign called 1 Billion Acts of Kindness with MrBeast, in collaboration with his company, the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, and the Varkey Foundation. Official terms show that creators worldwide are being asked to post videos of acts of kindness, tag MrBeast, and compete for a January 2026 trip with him to Ghana, where they will help build a village and appear in his content. That initiative, running right now, positions him not just as an entertainer but as a global organizer of influencer philanthropy.Overlaying all of this is the unresolved legal and reputational cloud: TechCrunch, citing prior reporting, notes the ongoing litigation over MrBeast Burger and the lawsuits from contestants on the first season of Beast Games alleging mistreatment and a toxic work environment. Those cases have not been resolved publicly, and any new filings or statements would be major news; for now, the most recent verified developments are the continuing suits and his guarded comments about having “learned” from running a 2,000‑person competition. Anything beyond that, including rumored settlements or internal policy changes, remains speculative and unconfirmed.There are also forward‑looking product headlines: fintech industry outlet The Paypers reports that MrBeast is working on a financial services platform and Beast Mobile, a phone company aimed squarely at his audience. Details are sparse, and there is no launch date yet, but if executed, those moves would push him from consumer packaged goods and shows into something closer to a lifestyle ecosystem, with payments, connectivity, and media all under one fan‑facing umbrella. Some social chatter has tried to connect those plans directly to IPO timing, but no credible outlet has reported any regulatory filings or dates, so talk of an imminent listing is, at this stage, pure speculation.Across social media, clips from his recent conversation on the attention economy with Jeff Housenbold have been circulating, showing him doubling down on a brutal work ethic, the idea that every day ending in “Y” is a workday, and a willingness to be “humbled” by more traditional hosts as he refines Beast Games. Coverage of Season 2 of that show, including a Survivor‑style twist highlighted by entertainment site The Knockturnal, frames him as increasingly comfortable stepping back and letting contestants drive the story, an evolution that could matter for his long‑term reputation as more than just the guy shouting over stunts.That is your rapid‑fire update on MrBeast's world this week.

Kindness is often misunderstood. In this episode, Don't Take My Kindness for Weakness, we unpack the difference between being gracious and being taken advantage of. This conversation is about strength with restraint, generosity with boundaries, and learning when access needs limits.We explore how consistent kindness can attract the wrong expectations, how silence is often mistaken for submission, and why setting boundaries doesn't make you cold—it makes you wise. This episode is for anyone who has given freely, shown up consistently, and later realized that not everyone values what you bring.If you've ever felt the tension between being a good person and protecting your peace, this one's for you. Kindness is still the standard—but discernment decides where it flows.

Kindness is the word that inspired Emmy award-winning filmmakers Kahane Cooperman and John Hoffman to make "The Antidote".“善良”一词启发了荣获艾美奖的电影制作人卡汉·库珀曼和约翰·霍夫曼制作《解药》。The documentary focuses on how American communities across the country are coming together in times of need.这部纪录片聚焦于美国各地社区如何在需要时团结一心。My name is O'connell. I'm Dr O'connell. What do you need? Anything? I need mental health.我叫欧康奈尔。请问你需要什么？什么都行？我需要心理健康。Dr James O'connell, founder of Boston healthcare for the homeless, goes out in the streets to treat homeless people.詹姆斯·欧康奈尔医生是波士顿流浪者医疗中心的创始人，到街上去治疗无家可归的人。In Amarillo, Texas, Russell Lowery-Hart, President of Amarillo College, helps underprivileged students manage their personal lives, thrive academically and escape generational poverty.在德克萨斯州的阿马里洛，阿马里洛学院院长拉塞尔·劳瑞·哈特帮助贫困学生管理个人生活，在学业上取得成功并摆脱代际贫困。At Peter Johansen High School in Modesto California, Sherry Mcintyre teaches a class about religious tolerance and the diversity of faith in America.在加州莫德斯托的彼得·约翰逊高中，雪莉·麦金太尔教授一门关于宗教容忍和美国信仰多样性的课程。We need to protect the rights of the smallest minority, because in doing that we're protecting our own rights.我们需要保护最弱势群体的权利，因为这样做就是在保护我们自己的权利。We can't get too comfortable; we have to stand up for each other. The stories go on and on.我们不能太过安逸，必须互相支持。故事还在继续。We came up with six questions that completely informed our creative process,我们提出了六个问题，完全反映了我们的创作过程，which are how do we raise our children, how do we teach our children,分别是：我们如何养育孩子？我们如何教导孩子？how do we take care of the sick and the dying, how do we live and work together, how do we welcome the stranger and how do we lead.我们如何照顾病人和临终者？我们如何共同生活和工作？我们如何接纳陌生人？我们如何领导他人？Hoffman says the film was made as a counterpoint to the growing political and social divisions in America.霍夫曼说，这部电影是为了对抗美国日益增长的政治分歧和社会分歧。Those stories are all examples of working to write these systemic bonds that we call fundamental on kindnesses.这些故事都是努力书写我们称之为基于善意的系统性纽带的例证。It's you know fundamentally unkind to not have a safe place to sleep; fundamentally unkind to not have access to health care.没有一个安全的地方睡觉，从根本上说是不人道的；无法获得医疗保健，从根本上来说也是不人道的。Racism is fundamentally unkind, homophobia is fundamentally unkind, sexism is fundamentally unkind.种族主义本质上是不友善的，恐同症本质上是不友善的，性别歧视本质上是不友善的。Cooperman says that although the film was made just before the country was ensnarled in the grip of the pandemic, it is relevant today.库珀曼说，尽管这部电影是在美国深陷疫情之前拍摄的，但它在今天仍有现实意义。More relevant perhaps than when we even started. Certainly with COVID, it was about communities coming together.甚至比我们刚开始的时候更有意义。尤其是在新冠疫情期间，关键在于社区团结起来。Such as how communities in Anchorage Alaska are welcoming African refugees, or how elderly communities in Portland Oregon are caring for children in foster care.比如阿拉斯加安克雷奇的社区接纳非洲难民，俄勒冈州波特兰市的老年社区照顾寄养儿童。The filmmakers hope the documentary inspires people to reach out to one another and to feed the force of good rather than found the flames of hatred and divisiveness.电影制作人希望这部纪录片能激励人们相互伸出援手，弘扬善的力量，而非煽动仇恨与分裂的火焰。

Stefan Molyneux explores philosophical questions in this episode, beginning with the issue of creating a universal moral theory that lacks operational tests. He examines Universally Preferable Behavior (UPB) as an alternative to flawed moral frameworks that encourage violence.He points out the value of keeping moral philosophy simple, particularly when teaching children, and questions the vagueness often found in ethical debates. Molyneux covers the challenges of family relationships, including co-parenting with someone who has borderline personality disorder, and stresses the role of clear communication.He talks about personal responsibility in the context of social structures, arguing for the recognition of free will in making moral choices. The episode ends with a look at men's responsibilities in building positive family interactions through generosity and kindness, combining philosophical ideas with everyday advice on morality and relationships.Questions:"Serious question:"Can a moral theory qualify as ‘universal' if it cannot be expressed as a fully operational test, one that produces the same judgment regardless of who performs it, where, or under what incentives?"In other words:"Is UPB decidable?"If so, what is the operational test by which two independent observers, following your method step-by-step, would reach the same moral verdict in every case, including disagreements about property, reciprocity, and externalities?""How to coparent with a woman with intense and violent BPD? Young kids involved.""Why does a man who hates academia have 'MA in history' in his Twitter description?""This I think is the deepest question possible or I mean all questions will eventually lead to this one:"Why should anything exist?""Is morality objective or subjective?"How do we determine objective morality?""If a woman was raped in the past, should she be honest with the man she's dating ?""Is a pre-emptive strike, such as the one in the movie Minority Report; convicting a man or woman of a future crime; is that moral?""I got a question from a vegan that asked:"Why should the question if it's moral or immoral to kill an animal, depend on the animals capacity to understand morality and not just our own ? "As someone that eats meat, I didn‘t really know a good answer.""Should UPB replace religion? "Would it be a religion for everyone or just libertarians?""Many men work a lot of hours or away from home. Is it 'fair' for them to not spend as much time as possible with their kids when they can be home, to make sure they are being raised properly by their wife? (not all hobbies, unnecessary projects, sports with buddies in the man cave, etc 'because I work so much and kids are the mom's job!')"Why do some men leave all the parenting to the mother, then complain that the kids don't listen and turned out bad. Seems like many men relinquish their parenting responsibilities and blame the women. "I understand working takes you away (I was working single mom over a decade) but when I wasn't at work, my life was making sure kids had everything and I taught them above their grade level anything I though they could understand. PS I'm not talking about sharing housework.""Do we have free will, or is everything determined?""What was it that made you realize your wife was the one?"SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Proverbs 11 wisdom, faith principles, and life-changing Inchstones come together in this powerful episode that shows exactly why “God's got you” is more than a comforting phrase—it's a roadmap to peace, integrity, and real-life transformation. If you've ever doubted whether God is working behind the scenes, this breakdown of Proverbs 11 will strengthen your trust, steady your heart, and help you walk in daily wisdom.My Pops used to say it all the time: “God's got you!”Truthfully? I didn't always believe it. But Proverbs 11 reminds us—over and over—that truth doesn't lose power just because we're stubborn. It just delays our peace.Today's Inchstones (grab the book here: https://a.co/d/4CYg4vG) walk through every major theme of Proverbs 11 and how it actually plays out in your everyday life:

I don't do well with injustice.  -Christine Anastos 10 years ago, environmental engineer Christine Anastos knew something was wrong with her health.  When tests came back normal, her care team suggested Christine see a psychiatrist.   Her answer?  “There's nothing wrong with my brain.  I know my body well.”    It wasn't long before Christine was diagnosed with breast cancer.  The suspected cause?   Environmental hazards.   The company Christine was working for as an environmental engineer had been dumping toxins into the Hudson River, and she became a whistleblower, reaching a settlement and using those funds to do good.   Today, she is the founder of a public benefit corporation called www.connect-and-thrive.com.  The mission?  To bridge the gap between conventional medicine and a holistic approach to healing.   Says Christine:  “true healing is not a destination.  It is a lifelong journey. Balancing mind, body, and spirit is the key to becoming healthy again.” Her website is a marketplace where women find evidence-based healing modalities and products not usually covered by insurance. Crowdfunding campaigns called “Kitty Funds” make powerful healing possible. Says Christine:  “Success is making a positive difference in the lives of people who are suffering. Kindness matters.” #healing #breastcancer #hope #candyoterry

In our ongoing series about the creative process of building a studio, we've covered when and how to hire a team. But what happens when a hire isn't the right fit? I'm pulling back the curtain on a lesson that cost me months of energy and a piece of my confidence as a leader. You'll often know by week three or four when a new hire isn't going to make it, and waiting six months to act isn't just costly, it's a failure of leadership. I share the difference between a coachable skill gap and a fundamental values misalignment. Discover the two questions that immediately clarify your next move and the three clear, documented conversations you must have before making the final decision. This episode provides a clear, direct process to protect your creative work and act with grace and clarity, because your vision is worth protecting.

Join Dan Carrigan as he speaks with Emily Marlow Beck, President of Marlow Motor Company and Virginia's 2026 Time Dealer of the Year, for a candid and insightful conversation about leadership and the future of the family-run dealership. In this interview, Emily shares her unique journey from her legal background as an attorney to her current role as dealer principal. She explains how her father instilled a character-building work ethic from the ground up, and why being prepared to "pivot and go" is the true key to navigating uncertainty and the rapid changes in the corporate world. Beck emphasizes the philosophy that leaders must "share the credit and hog the blame" to encourage an environment where employees feel safe to admit mistakes and foster true collaboration. She also discusses the vital role of community and culture, explaining how employee-led initiatives like her CARES Committee and the viral 75 Acts of Kindness built a servanthood culture that directly impacts her sales floor and customer relationships. This is an indispensable guide for dealership leaders focused on operational excellence, ethical culture, and successfully transitioning a family business.

Claire de Mézerville López welcomes Officer Warren Edmondson to the Restorative Works! Podcast. Officer Edmondson joins us to share how he first embraced restorative practices when transitioning from street policing to middle school hallways. He describes the emotional landscapes of sixth to eighth graders and explains why relationship-building became the cornerstone of his approach. Rather than centering on discipline alone, he focuses on connection, modeling integrity and empathy through everyday interactions. His first-year goal was simple yet powerful: greet and interact with all 800+ students daily. High fives and fist bumps became tools for trust, opening doors to deeper conversations and early interventions. Officer Edmondson breaks down the components of real school safety, physical, emotional, and social, and highlights how a shared sense of responsibility transforms a building into a true community. He also discusses the school's conflict resolution practices, where disagreements become structured conversations facilitated by administrators and guided by restorative questions.

Send us a textA rainbow that loses its colors is a striking image—and the perfect doorway into a conversation about how small acts of kindness can change a day, a classroom, and a community. We sit down with preschool teacher and author Kelly Turner to unpack the heart and craft behind The Little Rainbow Who Lost Its Colors, a children's book where friends restore brightness through caring deeds and gentle encouragement.Kelly brings 14 years in the classroom to her writing, starting every story with a clear moral and building characters and scenes around that message. She shares how focusing on empathy, responsibility, and simple, repeatable actions makes the story not only memorable but useful for social-emotional learning at home and at school. You'll hear how teachers are adapting the book with a playful “kindness wand,” turning compliments and helping hands into a daily ritual that boosts confidence and fosters belonging.We also get practical about the creative process. Kelly walks through drafting, editing, and self-publishing, including finding an illustrator on Fiverr, handling revisions, and learning from early misprints. She explains why a bilingual Spanish edition matters for accessibility, how a bundled coloring book deepens engagement, and what's next for the rainbow as a series—tackling self-esteem, bullying prevention, and positive identity in kid-friendly ways. Along the way, Kelly's message stays simple and strong: kindness is cool, kindness is free, and it's powerful enough to color the sky.If you care about raising kinder kids, teaching empathy with tangible tools, or creating meaningful children's stories, this one's for you. Listen, share with a friend who loves children's books, and leave a quick review to help more families and educators find the show.This podcast is a proud member of the Mayday Media Network — your go-to hub for podcast creators.

Jaclyn Michelle Smith is the author of I'm Sorry I Cremated You: Finding the Funny in Life and Loss. It is a memior that quickly and intuitively cuts to the heart of our universal experience with grief and demonstrates how laughing at the irony of our human condition can provide the space to breathe and create meaning from the absurdity of it all.

Community support is crucial during difficult times. Cherishing memories and mementos can help in the grieving process. A positive mindset can transform our experiences. Life is a duality of joy and sorrow, and both can coexist. Being present allows us to appreciate the magic in everyday moments. We should strive to see the good in every situation and person.

This is the time of year that reminds us to be grateful, kind and spend time with the people we love. To celebrate, I have decided to re-release a conversation that took place on this podcast almost 6 years ago now with the wonderful David Hamilton. David is a scientist, researcher and one of the world's leading experts in the science of kindness. He is also the author of multiple bestselling books including Why Kindness Is Good For You and How Your Mind Can Heal Your Body. This conversation was actually recorded all the way back in February 2020, one month before the start of COVID. But, as with most of the conversations on my podcast, the content within it is timeless and just as relevant today as it was when we actually recorded it. In our conversation, we explore many different themes including: How empathy and kindness can impact various markers of our health, including the functioning of our immune systems and our cardiovascular health Why David calls oxytocin the ‘kindness hormone' How exactly we can use visualisation to improve the quality of our lives, The science of the placebo effect The importance of connection and empathy in healthcare And the phenomenal ripple effect of kindness, whereby one act of kindness can lead to one hundred and twenty-five more. David is such a wonderful human being who is doing his very best to help create a kinder and more compassionate world. I think this conversation is perfect for the current time of year and I hope that it serves as a gentle reminder that being kind is not only good for the world around us, it's good for ourselves as well…….   Support the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.

Sheriff Chris Swanson strives to live in the moment: On May 30th 2020, when he found himself in the center of a volatile situation, he chose to listen to the people he has sworn to protect, put down his baton, and walk with them by their side. And in doing so, more than a billion people across the world tuned in to see one everyday person change the tide from negative to positive, from what could have been bad to something good. While the world around us seems to be on a constant, unstoppable path of division, Sheriff Chris continues to embrace unity, through his community in Flint, Michigan and beyond. We talk a lot on this show about shining the light into - and finding the light in - the darkness. Sheriff Chris is doing that on the daily. This episode is one of the most profoundly inspiring and uplifting ones we've ever offered and serves as the perfect way to close out the year with you, our good listeners, reminding you that there IS still good out there, lots of it, and you - YES YOU - can find and be that good yourself. _________________________________ GOOD HOLIDAY GIFT ALERT: Steve's third book in his cozy mystery series, THE DOG WALKING DETECTIVES is finally here: SEASON'S SLAYINGS lights up the holidays!

Our own Chaz Brenchley has a prolific year with 4 (5?) new books published. We gathered to talk about his first in a new series, “Of The Emperor's Kindness”. It is written within a new genre I had to go delve into learning more about, a Fantasy of Manners with only a touch of violence here and there. It is a delightful sapphic romp into a world of his own devising, of warring nations, diplomacy, and noble scheming. The romance of Ambassador Malance and her staff and Vivi (the Emperor's… niece?) whirl their way through palace intrigues, murder plots, and politics at the highest level of the land. … Continue...Episode 223 – Chaz and the Emperor's Kindness

"Please Be Kind": Life After 19 Days – Everyday Philanthropy, Second Chances, and Showing Up - Paul Meese 2 | Conversations with a Chiropractor What does life look like after the hospital, after the funeral, after the book? In this follow-up episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier reconnects with Paul Meese, author of 19 Days: One Man's Journey Through Grief, to talk about the next chapter: leaving his HR career, taking his family to Hawaii for Christmas, navigating the isolation of COVID, finding love again, and building a life that quietly runs on generosity. Paul shares how retirement wasn't an escape so much as a reckoning, why he chose a Christmas trip over trying to recreate old traditions, and how donating, decluttering, and "just helping where I can" turned into a pattern of everyday philanthropy. From supporting women's education and animal rescue, to stocking community resources and donating airline miles so families can say goodbye in person, he shows how small choices can carry big weight. If the first conversation was about surviving 19 days of crisis, this one is about what you build in the years that follow—and how "Please be kind" becomes a daily practice, not just a nice phrase.

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.In the last few days, Jimmy Donaldson, better known as Mr Beast, has quietly been in one of the most pivotal stretches of his career, with business, philanthropy, and long term strategy all converging into a more traditional mogul story than just a viral YouTuber arc. TechCrunch reports that his CEO Jeff Housenbold has openly floated the idea of eventually taking Beast Industries public so that fans could own a piece of the empire, a move that, if realized, would mark one of the first true creator born conglomerates heading toward an IPO scale future rather than just a channel or brand play. TechCrunch also notes that leaked financials reported by Bloomberg show Feastables as the most profitable arm of the operation, even outperforming both the flagship YouTube channel and the Amazon Prime game show Beast Games, underscoring how seriously Donaldson has pivoted into consumer products and studio level production. At the same time, the legal hangover from earlier hypergrowth continues; TechCrunch highlights the ongoing lawsuit with Virtual Dining Concepts over the now shuttered MrBeast Burger, and the separate suit from Beast Games contestants alleging mistreatment and a hostile environment on set. Those cases are still working their way through the system, and much of what is claimed remains unproven allegations rather than established fact, but they are the main shadow on an otherwise soaring public profile. On the philanthropic front, Fortune and an official announcement from the Rockefeller Foundation detail a new strategic partnership between Beast Philanthropy and the 112 year old institution, designed to blend Mr Beasts youth reach with Rockefeller data driven development work and planned travel to Ghana next year to study community led change together. That collaboration, alongside his role fronting the 1 Billion Acts of Kindness campaign with the 1 Billion Followers Summit and partners in Dubai, where creators can submit kindness videos through mid December to potentially join him on a Ghana village building trip, shows Donaldson deliberately anchoring his image in large scale, institutional philanthropy rather than one off stunts alone. Across his social feeds in recent days, he has continued teasing upcoming high budget videos and Beast Games related content rather than dropping any bombshell new controversies, with most coverage now dissecting his net worth, his multi billion dollar brand valuation, and what an eventual Beast Industries stock listing could mean. For now, the verified story is clear: Mr Beast is spending this week less as an impulsive viral creator and more as a carefully managed founder steering a media, food, and philanthropy empire toward Wall Street, global NGOs, and massive viewer driven charity campaigns.

Kindness is often misunderstood as soft or optional, but in leadership and life it's one of the strongest forces we have. On this episode, I talk about why leading with kindness is not only good for our relationships and well-being, but also a powerful driver of trust, engagement, and performance at work. I share some of the research about how kindness impacts culture and effectiveness, and explore practical ways we can bring more of it into our work, our leadership, and our lives, especially during times of stress, change, and challenge.   Resources: We're All in This Together (book), by Mike Robbins Mike Robbins Website Mike Robbins Blog Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on LinkedIn Mike Robbins on Instagram Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins YouTube Channel Mike Robbins on TikTok Mike Robbins on X Mike Robbins on BlueSky

This is a fan fav episode. When you think of empathy you may think of being overpowered with feelings and emotions for someone close to you that is having a response to something. Possibly you lump sympathy in the same basket with empathy and toss kindness in for good measure. Stanford professor and psychologist, Jamil Saki, joins me to not only break down the distinction between empathy and sympathy, but also explains the reason that empathy is critical to success and achieving goals. Understanding how empathy is so closely connected to how we advance as communities and build stronger relationships is life changing.
