Special Minisode: A Collective One Good Thing / In Honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Today, we’re doing something a little different. Instead of a typical interview, we’re taking a pause. And inviting you into a collective One Good Thing.
Good is the foundation of progress, and the fuel for movements. On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we’re reminded that good isn’t passive; it’s a choice. It’s choosing love over hate, justice over complacency, and action over indifference.
So today, instead of a regular podcast episode, we want to leave you with a simple challenge: Do one good thing for someone.
