How COVID-19 is affecting Immigration Detainees (0:30)Guest:  Patrick Michels, Immigration Investigative Reporter, Reveal - From the Center for Investigative ReportingAcross the country, more than 37,000 immigrants are being detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement in conditions that are sometimes crowded and prime for the spread of disease. On Tuesday, ICE announced the first confirmed case of COVID-19 in a detainee. Immigrant rights advocates are filing a flurry of lawsuits demanding that migrants be released on humanitarian grounds. Good Neighboring in the Time of COVID-19 (20:41)Guest: Rodney Smith Jr., Founder of Raising Men Lawn Care ServiceEven in the middle of a global pandemic, Rodney Smith, Jr. is on a crusade to do good. He's been at it for four years, actually, traveling the country mowing lawns – for free – for veterans, single mothers, people with disabilities, the elderly or sick. With the quarantines, Smith is sticking to mowing lawns in Huntsville, Alabama where he lives, rather than traveling to other states. But through his nonprofit called “Raising Men Lawn Care Service” he's got an army of kids doing the same for people all over the world. Why Are So Many White, Uneducated Americans Dying Deaths of Despair? (32:36)Guest:  Anne Case, PhD, Professor of Economics, Princeton University; Angus Deaton, PhD, Nobel Prize Winning Professor of Economics, Princeton University, Co-Authors of “Deaths of Despair and the Future of Capitalism”Life expectancy is falling in America. That's not supposed to happen in a developed country like ours – and it wasn't happening until about ten years ago. But not all Americans are dying younger. Mainly it's middle-aged white people dying of what Princeton economists Anne Case and Angus Deaton have dubbed “deaths of despair.” 2,995 Days of Disneyland (50:24)Guest: Jeff Reitz, Instagram: @disney366_The coronavirus pandemic shutdown Disneyland and with it pretty remarkable run for Jeff Reitz. He'd been to Disneyland every single day for eight years. The night the park closed, a week and a half ago, was Reitz's 2,995th consecutive day at Disneyland. Can you even imagine? Shaking Earthquake Science (1:09:41)Guest: Victor Tsai, Associate Professor of Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences, Brown UniversityThere was a 5.7 magnitude earthquake in Utah last week – the strongest we've head in decades so it caused quite a bit of anxiety, though not much damage. An earthquake of similar magnitude struck the capital of Croatia on Sunday and caused, significant damage. But in California, there was a 5.3 earthquake near Eureka last week that barely made the news, since quakes of that size happen dozens of times a year in the state.  Why are some earthquakes of the same magnitudes more destructive than others? Earth's Car-Sized Second Moon Was Only Visiting (1:24:51)Guest: Bill Gray, Creator of Guide Astrometry SoftwareEarth just lost a moon. Not the moon - a second, much smaller one, about the size of a Toyota Prius. Astronomers only discovered it orbiting our planet a month ago. Now it's gone. Where did it go? Where did it come from? And could we get another moon someday?

They say the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. But in this story, it is. You just have to mow it. And for one man, his mission is to mow the lawn for those in need in all 50 states.   The quote in this episode is from Maya Angelou: “Nothing will work unless you do” Raising Men Lawn Care Service: https://weareraisingmen.com/

Rodney Smith is a giver of life, founder of Raising Men Lawn Care Service. “More people should give. Too many people expect, they just take, take, take, take. It’s a powerful thing in giving. You get your blessing back for sure.” Are you ready to give in your community? Listen to this episode to get a fresh take on the power of giving in your community and starting your crazy idea.

“Once day I saw an elderly man cutting grass and something just hit me. God was talking to me (saying)⏤‘Do something about it.’” It was that one split decision when Rodney Smith Jr. pulled his car to the side of the road to offer Mr. Brown a helping hand to finish cutting his lawn⏤that would change his life forever. Mr. Brown became the inspiration for Rodney to help more people. He set an initial goal to cut forty lawns for free. It was his way of giving back to folks who needed the help, but didn't have the money to pay for lawn services. The elderly, the disabled, single moms and veterans would be the recipient of Rodney's generosity. "When I first started, I just had my car and my lawn mower, that's all I had," explains Rodney Smith Jr., "I was cutting lawns between classes. I was a college student, and just graduated recently with a bachelor's in computer science. All this got me wanting to go back for my master's in social work because I believe I found my purpose in life, and that's helping people." The purpose that Rodney points out has now turned into a movement of giving back; caring for those in need; looking out for a fellow neighbor; and teaching the upcoming generation skills, generosity and an appreciation for thy fellow man. After two months of cutting lawns for free, Rodney had reached 100 lawns and decided it was time to put the movement into overdrive. The story continues on the Brink of Greatness Podcast… The Next Leap Forward Hundreds of kids have joined the program throughout the country, but it doesn't stop there⏤kids from five other countries have accepted the challenge of cutting lawns for free. Raising Men Lawn Care Service became the union of an ordinary yard maintenance service and the commitment to establish an inspiring program to keep our youth (girls & boys) on a positive path while learning and understanding their value in society, as explained on their website. One of the methods Rodney has used to incentivize the kids to 'work harder' is through the T-Shirt System. When a young man or woman join the program, they start off with a white shirt.  Thereafter, for every ten lawns they cut, they get a new color shirt, so ten get them an orange shirt; twenty a green shirt; thirty a blue shirt; forty a red shirt; and finally FIFTY LAWNS earn them a black shirt. It's called the 50 Yard Challenge. I encourage you to take the 50 Minute Challenge. Take 50 minutes out of your day, step back and think about your own legacy. What is the lasting impression you wish to leave on the world? How can you make a difference in 50 lives? Think about it.

Rodney Smith Jr is the owner of Raising Men Lawn Care Service.  Episode 291 Raising Men Lawn Care Service is the union of an ordinary yard maintenance service and the commitment to establish an inspiring program to keep our youth (girls & boys) on a positive path while learning and understanding their value in society. RMLS provides free lawn care to our elders, those who are disabled, single mothers and our veterans, who do not have the time, resources and/or money to manicure their yards. Their mission is to unite the extraordinary community that is present in their local area. They are completely confident in the fact that they can provide a very inspirational program that focuses on channeling the energy that youths have in a positive way as well as helping those who need it the most. They know that sometimes youth want to help the community and sometimes people need it, but it can be hard to know who, why and where. They focus on getting all of this sorted out while also helping people around the area to care for and maintain their lawns. On this episode of the podcast, we talk to Rodney about the great work he's doing to help others and how his faith in Jesus guides him to want to serve and give back. This podcast is less about sports and more about showing the love of God to others.

Rodney Smith Jr. is a man with a huge heart. Originally from Bermuda, he has now started Raising Men Lawn Care Service. It is teaching kids work ethics and compassion  https://weareraisingmen.com/ Please visit our sponsors https://www.farmersedge.ca/

One simple act of kindness can transform a life, at least it did for Rodney Smith Jr. On his way home from his college classes, Rodney saw an elderly man struggling to mow his lawn and decided to finish the job for him. He's since founded Raising Men Lawn Care Service which encourages boys and girls to provide free lawn care to those who are unable to do so. He has also mowed a lawn for free in all fifty states and plans to do so again soon. Connect with Rodney on Twitter @iamRodneySmith or on his website at http://weareraisingmen.com.

When Rodney Smith, Jr. spots someone in need, he jumps into action. There's no question, doubt, or debate. He just does the work to help them—and he's now rallying others to help communities across the United States. Rodney, a native of Bermuda, started Raising Men Lawn Care Service, an organization that provides free yard services to elders, people with disabilities, veterans, and single-parent mothers. The service matches up youth in local communities with people in need of service. This two-way impact helps children become a positive part of the community learning social skills and giving back, and the recipients receive assistance with maintaining their yards. This service and the positive news of Rodney's work has spread across the US (and multiple countries too!) and continues to grow, with local chapters, and children signing up for the 50 Yard Challenge. In addition, Rodney brings his family (his name for his thriving and very engaged online community) together to help other members of his local community. He's been helping people that are homeless, by providing resources and food, collected and provided by his family. I met Rodney at his home in Huntsville, AL and we got right back on the road. I wanted to see firsthand how the service works. We spent the afternoon taking care of a yard and then learning more about the homeless community he's been helping. This was truly an immersive experience. After multiple conversations and experiences at a yard, in a homeless camp, in the car, and back at Rodney's house, I couldn't be more inspired by how much Rodney cared about the people in his community. Interestingly, it didn't seem like a big deal to him. Instead he just told me "it was the right thing to do." This was an amazing day, and I took a couple important ideas away from it: help however you can, and each of us can be the change at any time. Also, this trip was a beautiful reminder to get out of our bubbles (social and geographical) to see different parts of the world, and learn and connect with people different than ourselves.
