- M3: Do We Need A President With Character?Former President Donald J. Trump. Vice President Kamala Harris. As we very quickly approach the 2024 Presidential Election Day, and the many policy differences, personality differences, and a list of promises and warnings are swirling around in our heads, it’s worth taking a moment to look at our first U.S. President, George Washington. We’ll quickly examine the core trait that defined his service, the impact that had on all of us, and why we should be thankful.

7 min - F2: Global Cooperation; A Future On The Rise
We all hear a lot of negative news about what’s happening in the world. The coverage of conflict and threats is unrelenting. So, is it possible that the world may not be devolving into chaos?

7 min - M2: Antibiotics; Persistence And A Little Luck
We've all been there. We're sick or injured and we're not getting better. Usually, that means a bacterial infection, and with the help of antibiotics, we're back on our feet. The next time this happens, be thankful for the persistence...and the luck...of Alexander Fleming.

Do you sometimes feel like our planet is in peril and there’s nothing we can do about it?

6 min - M1: Heroes In The Rows Around Us
We start My Good Three off with a story about people who risked their lives to keep others safe. This is the story about the sacrifice that the passengers of UA Flight 93 made on September 11th, 2001.
It centers on Todd Beamer, and the call he made to the Airphone operator just before he and the other passengers stormed the cockpit and prevented the airplane, which had been taken over by hijackers, from crashing into another Washington D.C. building.
There are many things to be thankful for, but on this anniversary of September 11th, my 11-year-old son and I talked about the incredible sacrifice these passengers made to protect our way of life.

About My Good Three
From the publisher's feed
My Good Three is a 5-minute podcast, 3 times per week, that helps improve your belief in people.
These are real stories about real people doing good things. The point is to balance the…
toxic news and social media messages we consume all week. Monday is a good story from the past, Wednesday the present, and Friday, you'll head into the weekend with a story to keep you optimistic about our future.
My Good Three is hosted by Chris, a husband, dad, and veteran living in Richmond, Virginia. In late 2023, he suffered a health scare and it was attributed to stress. He decided to make a change and began reading about people and acts of kindness, about inspirational events and things to be hopeful for - and it made a significant difference. It turns out this storytelling approach to gratitude and optimism is backed by neuroscience research.
When it comes to the stories he shares on My Good Three, he works hard to find stories most people can appreciate. He tries to get the story right, and to avoid politics, partisanship, or anything divisive, but he may stumble into something that you’d like to challenge - which is fine. You can send him a note detailing your displeasure at any time. If you like what you’re hearing, support the show by adding a review or rating, following along on Instagram, Bluesky, and LinkedIn, and sending us your good three!
