Send us a textTransportation insecurity sounds like a cold, technical term—until you realize it's the difference between keeping a job and unemployment, accessing healthcare or suffering without it. While we readily understand food banks and homeless shelters, the critical nature of reliable transportation often goes unrecognized. Steve Landau, president of Cars for Neighbors, joins the Kindness Matters podcast to shine light on this overlooked crisis. For 25 years, this nonprofit has been quietly repairing cars for low-income residents in Anoka County, Minnesota—a suburban area where public transportation is sparse and unreliable vehicles mean lost opportunities.The conversation reveals shocking statistics: over 40% of Americans have gone into debt due to car repairs at some point in their lives. Even more concerning, a third of people cannot afford a repair exceeding $500 without sacrificing other essential needs or spiraling into debt. With most basic repairs starting at $1,000, it's easy to see how a simple mechanical failure can trigger a devastating cascade of consequences.What makes Cars for Neighbors remarkable isn't just the practical assistance they provide, but the profound impact of their work. As one grateful recipient expressed: "Love, grace, mercy, compassion, charity and caring—I have experienced those things from Cars for Neighbors." This testimony beautifully captures how what appears to be a simple mechanical service transforms into something deeply human and life-changing.Through partnerships with local repair shops and careful vetting of applicants, Cars for Neighbors stretches every donated dollar to help neighbors maintain independence and stability. They become that crucial support system for people lacking the social network or financial resources to handle unexpected automotive expenses.Whether you're mechanically inclined or simply want to support a worthy cause, this conversation will change how you think about transportation's role in community stability. Tune in to discover how fixing cars becomes a powerful act of kindness that keeps communities moving forward, one repair at a time.This podcast is a proud member of the Mayday Media Network.

Send us a textHow do we respond when darkness seems to be winning? Following a horrific act of political terrorism in Minnesota, this special episode takes a raw, honest look at the struggle to maintain faith in kindness during our darkest moments.The podcast recounts the chilling details of recent attacks on multiple Minnesota lawmakers, including the tragedy that claimed the lives of former House Speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband, and their family dog. With remarkable candor, host Mike Rathbun acknowledges the challenge of advocating for kindness when confronted with such senseless violence: "Sometimes advocating for kindness feels a little bit like beating your head against a wall."Yet rather than surrendering to despair, this episode makes a powerful case for why compassion becomes most essential during times of grief and trauma. Political violence has haunted humanity since ancient Rome, but history remembers both the perpetrators and those who respond with healing. We face a choice: Will we allow hate to harden our hearts, or will we be "the ones who stay, who hold hands, who refuse to let hate win"?As our communities grapple with increasing polarization and dehumanization of political opponents, this timely reflection reminds us that kindness isn't merely a pleasant sentiment—it's a necessary response to a fractured world. Join us as we explore how small acts of compassion can begin to rebuild what violence has shattered.Listen, reflect, and consider how you might bring healing to your corner of the world today.

Send us a textHave you ever wondered how small acts of kindness can transform lives? Lisa Demmi returns to the Kindness Matters podcast to share the incredible journey of her nonprofit, The Small Magic Foundation, which is creating pathways to success for underserved youth in the Tampa Bay area.The foundation stems from Lisa's personal philosophy that meaningful change doesn't require grand gestures or substantial resources—just intentional acts of kindness she calls "small magic." What began as a concept for goal-setting has evolved into a structured nonprofit offering disadvantaged youth access to mentorship, creative expression, and practical life skills they might otherwise never experience.Lisa shares heartwarming stories about the foundation's early initiatives: gifting musical instruments to committed students, hosting rock painting events where children discover their artistic talents, and planning workshops on everything from financial literacy to leadership skills. The joy in her voice is palpable as she describes the moment when a child realizes "I am an artist" after creating something beautiful with their own hands.Beyond just teaching skills, the Small Magic Foundation aims to bridge generational gaps and show children that adults can be trusted allies in their development. By assembling a diverse board that reflects the communities they serve, Lisa ensures the foundation addresses genuine needs rather than making assumptions about what children require. Her approach emphasizes sustainability—older participants will eventually return as mentors, creating a continuous cycle of giving back.Ready to witness how small actions can create profound change? Listen to this inspiring conversation about kindness, opportunity, and the magic that happens when someone simply believes in a child's potential. Then visit smallmagicfoundation.org to discover how you can contribute to this meaningful mission through volunteering, mentorship, or donation.This podcast is a proud member of the Mayday Media Network.

“There's never a perfect time. Just begin.” In this episode of The RebelRebel Podcast, host Michael Dargie welcomes Steven Foster, the founder of One Golden Nugget, to share his remarkable journey through entrepreneurship, personal struggle, and self-discovery. From sleeping in his office during lockdown to creating a global platform that collects and shares wisdom nuggets, Steven's story is as inspiring as it is humbling. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. Steven takes listeners back to his early days when his entrepreneurial spirit first sparked. He started by replicating cassette tapes for dance music enthusiasts in the UK, which quickly scaled into a million-dollar business. His journey then veered into the world of music promotion and large-scale dance events, before crashing into bankruptcy. From there, Steven reinvented himself as a songwriter, securing deals with Universal Music and collaborating with major artists. Yet, the rollercoaster continued—his ventures in digital marketing agencies followed a similar pattern of rapid growth and collapse. At his lowest point—broke and living in his office during the pandemic—Steven had an idea: to collect and share people's most valuable pieces of wisdom. Thus, One Golden Nugget was born. What started as a personal project turned into a life-changing platform, transforming both Steven's life and the lives of those who shared their insights. Throughout the conversation, Steven emphasizes the power of kindness, slowing down, and trusting the journey. He stresses the importance of niching down, taking massive action, and embracing failure as part of the entrepreneurial adventure. He shares his belief that true happiness is rooted in kindness, and that the greatest gift is simply waking up each day. Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or a “rebel in waiting,” Steven's story will leave you with a renewed sense of purpose and a pocket full of golden nuggets. Cool Things Steven Says “Kindness is the route to happiness.” “Don't boil the ocean. Find your niche and own it.” “There's never a perfect time. Just begin.” “You have nothing to lose.” “Be the love—in everything you do.” Episode Highlights Steven's early days: cassette tape duplication turned million-dollar business. The rise and fall of Dreamscape, his large-scale dance music events company. His time as a cleaner, learning humility after losing everything. Transition into songwriting, working with Pop Idol and X Factor contestants. The birth of One Golden Nugget during the COVID-19 lockdown. The power of kindness and faith as drivers for success. “Don't rush; there's no destination.” Why niching down is key to sustainable business. Bikram hot yoga as a life-changing practice. The importance of clean eating for sustained energy. The gift of simply waking up each day.

Morning Mantra: “Ah, kindness. What a simple way to tell another soul that there is love to be found in the world.”Kindness begins with the understanding that we all struggle. And boy! does it feel like the world is struggling right now.To often we underestimate the power of a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment or the smallest act of caring. It seems so simple yet it appears to be difficult to find kindness sometimes.Nobody really knows how much anyone else is hurting. You could be standing next to someone who is completely broken and you'd never know.You could be the only person that reaches out to someone all day.Your kind words could turn someone's life around.Kindness is the most powerful, least costly, and most underrated agent of human change.So, always be kind.With yourself and others.#BeKind #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutiqueQuote: A.A.

Episode Summary: In this week's episode of the Rise Station Podcast, we're continuing the five-part series inspired by The Go-Giver by Bob Burg & John David Mann. This week, we're diving deep into the third law of stratospheric success, AKA, The Law of Influence which suggests that having an abundant mindset attracts success. Check out the complete episode to learn how you can build a supportive network for yourself using this law. Rise Tribe Takeaways: The Law of Influence dictates that your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people's interests first. Having a lack mindset is the breeding ground for every negative emotion in the book. You don't have to choose between taking care of yourself and being thoughtful about other people; the two can co-exist. The most important factor in being abundant is to have an abundant mindset.

By choosing to purchase using this link, you can support our podcast at no extra cost! Episode Introduction: It's time to give abundantly and have it come back tenfold. Tune in to find out how! Episode Summary: In this week's episode of the Rise Station Podcast, we're continuing the five-part series inspired by The Go-Giver by Bob Burg & John David Mann. This week, we're diving deep into the second law of stratospheric success, AKA, The Law of Compensation. This law teaches us the power of having a “Serve First” mindset. Check out the complete episode to learn how you can benefit from it. Rise Tribe Takeaways: Success looks different for everyone. For some it's more money, for others, it's confidence, while some think success is about promotions, relationships, etc. The Law of Compensation dictates that your income is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them. The greater the impact you create, the more income you have. The more generous and abundant you are, the more likely people are to give back to you. Having a “Serve First” mindset helps bring purpose into the things that you do. Our limiting beliefs are mindset blocks that keep us away from our abundance. The rhythm between “giving” and “receiving” isn't supposed to be either/ or, it's supposed to be a balance of both.

Episode Summary: In this week's episode of the Rise Station Podcast, we're starting a five-part series inspired by The Go-Giver by Bob Burg & John David Mann. Each week, we'll go over one of the five takeaways about the power of giving. We highly recommend you read the book as you listen to these podcast episodes; it's going to change the way you define success for the better. Rise Tribe Takeaways: Your truth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment. Focusing your resources inwardly isn't what makes you high-value, it's the intent and ability to give to others that do so. We often look at our achievements to be the barometer of success but what if it actually lies in the journey of getting to the point of achievement? Successful people have a certain way of life; they operate with integrity and character. There is power in giving. When we give, it reflects our abundant mindset that we have enough to share and our confidence in our ability to replenish that. When you let your lack mindset lead the show, you're not free to give or to grow.

As the crisp April air heralds a season of renewal and Second Chance Month, imagine the power of extending that spirit of rejuvenation to those in our midst seeking redemption. On the Kindness Matters podcast, we're joined by the compassionate Kimberley Mansfield, co-founder and director of the De Muniz Legal Clinic, who lights the way for individuals striving to reclaim their place in society post-incarceration. Her narrative is not just one of legal battles, but of humanity's capacity for empathy and the transformative potential of second chances. Together, we peel back the layers of bias to reveal a truth often obscured in the shadows of our criminal justice system.The roads to reintegration are fraught with obstacles that many of us might never have to face, but Kimberly and I tread these paths to uncover the realities for those emerging from behind bars. We challenge the misconceptions that can cripple a fresh start, discussing the surprising statistics surrounding recidivism and the quagmire of digital footprints left by expunged records. Housing, employment, and the restoration of familial bonds are but a few of the hurdles that former inmates overcome, and our conversation shines a spotlight on the tireless advocacy required to support these journeys of reentry.Lastly, we take a moment to focus on the youth who find themselves caught in the web of the legal system. The narrative turns to the profound impact of childhood trauma on developmental trajectories and the stark transition between juvenile and adult correctional institutions. The episode offers a lens into the complexities of maturation within the confines of the legal age of adulthood, and the invaluable role of legal aid in supporting young offenders. Listen as we weave through the heartening tales of resilience and the community's role in binding the wounds inflicted by a punitive system.Do you dread Mondays?

Welcome back to Voices of Your Village, and today I got to hang out with Claudia Hammond to talk about why kindness matters and how do we teach it. One of the things I've been really into is this difference between being nice and being kind, and what is kindness? How does it play out, not just in early childhood, but then down the road? What effects does it have on our mental health and the longevity of our mental health? I was so enriched by her research that it was really exciting to get to chat with her. She has a book out called The Keys to Kindness, and we got to chat about what it looks like to be kind to toddlers, and how to support tiny humans in building skillsets for kindness. And how do we become kinder to ourselves, to one another? The data are pretty clear that kindness does really matter and so looking at how do we cultivate it and spread it is pretty key. I'm so jazzed to get to share this interview with you. Alright folks, let's dive in.

(presented by Lisa Bishop) We have been exploring the importance of kindness and I want to throw down a kindness challenge. Before I do let's take a look at what Titus 3:4-5 tells us about kindness: But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. I want to take a look at those verses because they point out something very important when it comes to the kindness you and I are given by God. The kindness and love that Jesus demonstrates toward us is not something we deserved. His kindness is not based on our merit but on his mercy. In other words, you and I did not earn God's kindness, it was freely given, not based on conditions. How often do you extend kindness to someone only if they “deserve it.” When a coworker is off-putting or a person is annoying, in our flesh we are not bent toward kindness. Our tendency is avoidance, irritation, or the cold shoulder. Some form of withholding patience and gentleness. I know that can be my tendency when someone is not acting the way I think that they should. But Jesus demonstrates a higher way, and he loves and extends kindness without strings attached. Jesus' kindness is not based on your behavior, it's based on his favor for you, the generous and charitable heart of God. And you and I are to reflect his generosity to others. So here are a few ideas to get you started exercising your kindness muscles. Write words of encouragement to a co-worker or friend. When someone has an opposing opinion, listen respectfully. Buy a co-worker lunch and if you're working remotely, have their favorite meal delivered. Send a thank you note to someone who has made an impact on your life. Hold your tongue when someone frustrates you and instead of reacting harshly, be patient and loving. Let that car merge in front of you (I know. This one will take extra kindness). Consider intentionally practicing kindness each day for the next 30 days. Kindness is no small thing. When practiced, it yields fruit both in your life and the lives of those around you.
(presented by Lisa Bishop) When you are treated unkindly, how do you respond? Think about it, when was the last time you were mistreated, or hurtful words were flung at you? A co-worker throws you under the bus, a family member shuns you because of your faith, or a friend cancels you because of your political views. Do you maintain your composure or lash back with your words or actions? It can be tempting to fight fire with fire. In a world where people seem to be more stressed out and on edge than ever before it doesn't take much to set people off and in turn react in retaliation with even the slightest of offense. In the gospel of Luke, we see Jesus being called out and condemned by the Pharisees and teachers of the religious law. They were “filled with fury” because Jesus was healing on the Sabbath and they “discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus” (Luke 6:11). They were plotting his demise and devising ways to destroy him. It's a pretty intense situation. Jesus knows the thoughts and intentions of those who were against him and yet this is what he says to his followers. Luke 6:27-28 “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.” Luke 6:31-36 Do to others as you would have them do to you. “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that…… But love your enemies, do good to them….. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the most high because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. Now you and I most likely do not have enemies that are trying to take us down like Jesus experienced. But we are called to follow his example and take on his demeanor when we are faced with mistreatment. God shows love towards his enemies and is kind to those who are evil. That is a tall order and only possible through the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit at work in you. Treating others the way we would want to be treated is a divine characteristic. The next time you are wronged, don't retaliate. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you respond with kindness and mercy.
