🎙️ Glad You Asked – Episode 1: “The One Where We Don’t Burn Anything Down (Probably)” Welcome to Glad You Asked, the podcast where curiosity, chaos, and good intentions collide — proudly brought to you by Gladly Good, our episode sponsor and fellow believer in spreading good where it counts. In this debut episode, Brandon Sherwood (President & Founder of Gladly Network) and Jamie Bennion (Director of Impact and professional “let’s-see-what-happens” optimist) pull back the curtain on the heart behind Gladly — and themselves. Think of it like moving into a new apartment: you’re not sure where the light switches are, but it already feels like home. Here’s what we learned (and laughed about):

• Blessing lives is more than a tagline — it’s their running gag and guiding mission (complete with an imaginary “ding ding” counter).
• Brandon’s grumpy-old-man energy might be misleading — turns out he actually just wants to make people’s lives better.
• Jamie’s career leap from coaching athletes to shaping impact wasn’t crazy… just “purposefully unhinged.”
• Gladly is not another coupon site or HR portal. It’s a marketplace for meaning — connecting people and brands that give back without all the corporate clutter.
• And the big “why” behind the podcast? To have fun, stay real, and highlight people and companies who are actually doing good things in the world (no buzzword bingo required).

Expect conversations that are casual, curious, and occasionally caffeinated — where doing good meets laughing often. 👉 Tune in, laugh along, and maybe rethink how you gladly do good.
