My guest this week is the author of Kindness - The Little Thing that Matters Most and founder of 52 Lives, Jaime Thurston. 52 Lives, is a charity that aims of change a life every week of the year with the help of almost 100,000 kind strangers. She has created a global movement of people who come together each week to spread kindness and change lives.

If you are a fan of mine, then you are going to LOVE Jaime and her work.

This is a kindness-centric conversation and what it truly means to be kind and live kind.

Consolee Nishimwe is a survivor of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda and lived through the horrors of that genocide at the age of fourteen. Consolee suffered insurmountable physical and emotional torture for three months, hiding from place to place to evade capture and certain death. In the end, she miraculously survived with her mother and younger sister, but her father and three young brothers were savagely murdered.

Consolee’s miraculous and inspiring story of survival is a grim testament of hope and faith triumphing over tragedy and provides lessons that will help anyone who is grappling with difficulties in their life. She is a committed speaker on the genocide, a defender of global women’s rights, and an advocate for other genocide survivors.

This conversation contains very difficult topics, so be aware. I also want to make you aware of the darkness around us, as it can lead us to understand the light. This powerful conversation will move you and show you that even in the darkest times, hope can be a light to guide us.

Scott Fifer is the founder and CEO of GO Campaign. GO Campaign is an incredible organization that gives opportunities to children worldwide and empowers local heroes. Some of their ambassadors include Ewan McGregor, Robert Pattinson, and Lily Collins. GO Campaign’s work is global and local, not just the “charity hotspots” we see in the media.

This conversation dives into how Scott got inspired to create GO Campaign and the truth about charity. I feel I’ve made a new friend in Scott, as he genuinely understands that making others feel seen is the GREATEST power we can deploy in the world. Please check out GO Campaign and see if they are doing something in your local area. The world is still recovering after the past few years and you may be able to change a life.
