 Today’s Do Better card is “Compliment Someone.” Seems simple, right? But it’s powerful. Whether it’s your kid, a coworker, or someone you haven’t talked to in a while — a kind word can shift the day.
 In this episode, recorded live on TikTok, I talk about why this card matters, how I’m using it (shoutout to my daughter graduating 8th grade!), and how you can too.
 Text someone. Call someone. Compliment the hell out of someone today.

Today’s Do Better card is “Share a Happy Memory” — and I’ll be honest, this one hits different. We talk about the power of remembering the good, how my wife’s simple act of kindness in a hospital became a ripple effect, and why it matters to anchor yourself in what lifts you up instead of what tears you down. If your brain is a bit chaotic today, maybe this is your invitation to pause and think about a time you smiled. Then tell someone. Anyone. Even a stranger.

💬 Let’s start a thread of happy memories today.

Welcome back to the Do Better podcast — I’m Anthony, and every day I draw a card from my Deck of Do Better and let it guide my intention. Today’s card? Share Music.

It’s funny how timing works. I’m literally wearing a Tropi Deic hat — a band my wife introduced me to last time this card came up. Music’s her love language, and she’s passed it on to me. That’s the power of sharing it: it becomes part of your story, your memory, your connection to others.

Today, I’ll be sharing Freaks by Timmy Trumpet — my go-to pick-me-up track. If you’ve got someone in your life going through it, send them a song. Not a fix. Not advice. Just something that moves you. That’s the challenge. That’s the invitation.

Thanks for listening. Your shares, your comments, your presence — it means more than you know. If anything in this episode resonates, hit that share button. And if you want to support the show, there’s a link below. No pressure, ever.

Do better. And I love you.

Welcome back to the Do Better podcast. Yesterday’s card was “Compliment Someone,” and I did—by bringing coffee to the nurses at my wife’s hospital. They surprised me with a plaque: “Four North’s Best Husband.” That little compliment made my whole day.

Today’s card? Write a Kind Note. Whether it’s a post-it left on a mirror or a message tucked in someone’s bag, small notes can carry big weight. I’ve done this before—left a trail of words behind me—and it’s one of my favorite things. Kindness can echo farther than we ever see.

Are you doing these cards with me? Let me know. And if you need a note today: You matter. Keep going.

Today’s Do Better card is Compliment Someone — a simple but powerful reminder to notice people. To lift them up. To say something kind with no strings attached.

In this short episode, I talk about why compliments matter, how they bridge disconnection, and how you can change someone’s day by just saying: “I see you.”

No agenda. No performance. Just presence.

This morning’s card hit home: Ask someone for advice. It’s a reminder I needed. I’m staring down a big decision in one of my businesses, and while I could white-knuckle it alone, today I won’t. In this episode, I reflect on why asking for help builds connection, not weakness — and why advice, when sought with humility, can unlock clarity we didn’t know we needed.

Welcome back to the Do Better Podcast. In today’s episode, I reflect on trying something new (even if it’s just at a Mexican restaurant), shifting podcast platforms, and the power of speaking your truth—especially when it’s hard. I share a bit about my recent interview where I opened up about my past with alcoholism, finding clarity through conversation, and learning that healing doesn’t require perfection. If you're on your own path, this one's for you.

Whether today is full of joy or laced with grief, there's space for you here. Happy Mother’s Day.

In this Do Better Together episode, I sit down with Roxy Baker—radio host, community advocate, and fierce supporter of local art and kindness. We talk about what it really means to show up, how her personal story shaped her mantra “Be kind to all kinds,” and why using your voice now matters more than ever.

We cover grief, grit, music, self-doubt, advocacy, and why being “weird” might just be your superpower. Roxy reminds us that vulnerability and loud love still matter.

One card. One story. One day at a time.
Let’s Do Better—together.
