PPP 338 | The Difference Between Kindness and Niceness—and the ROI of Kindness


Listen Later

The ROI of Kindness

Is it possible to be too nice? Is niceness the same as kindness? In today's discussion, we're going to drill in on that idea. I'm excited to introduce you to Brian Biro who wrote a book entitled The ROI of Kindness.

In today's discussion, Brian will talk about the difference between being nice and being kind. He'll explain what a Kindness Value Proposition is and why you might want to consider developing one. We have an extended conversation about one of the kindest things you can do, which is to be present with other people. And make sure you stay around for the outtakes because Brian was a friend with legendary basketball coach John Wooden. Outside the official interview, Brian shares some inspiring insights about who many consider to be the Greatest Basketball Coach of All Time.
