There are Good Stories to be Shared.
Let’s Go Find Them Together…
The headlines may have you believing the world is falling apart — but we know better — and I would love for you to come along as I discover and share the stories of good people doing good all around us.
I’m Kurt. I’m a curious person by nature and an optimist by choice.
That choice rests on a simple belief: that most people are good, and that most of us genuinely care about each other and the planet we share. The news does not always reflect that, but I see it almost everywhere I look.
So here is what this blog and my social channels are really about. I want to tell good stories about people doing good things. Sometimes that means sitting down with someone and learning about the work they are quietly doing. Other times it means heading out, discovering something for myself, and sharing the experience with you. Either way, the goal is the same. I want to shine a bright light on the brilliant, everyday good that surrounds us.
Life is too full and far too short to explore it alone, so come with me. Follow along, send me your ideas, and tell me about the good people and places I have not yet discovered. Some of the best stories I have ever found started with someone saying, “You have to see this.” Let’s find more of them together, in our own neighborhoods and clear across the globe.
