The news is just like our diet, and what we consume can have huge impacts on our health. In today’s world, consuming news is just one click away and can be crammed in on your commute to work, paired with breakfast, or picked at before you even get out of bed in the morning. Today’s guest is Branden Harvey, and he believes we can empower ourselves and those around us just by deciding how we consume news. As the founder of Good Good Good, Branden wants to turn positivity into a vital part of our purpose as human beings. Through social media and — believe it or not — print media, he believes we can change the world. 

In this episode, you’ll hear about how the human brain has a negative bias toward bad news, and how good news can be used as a means to do good. We kick things off by talking about the impact journalism has on mental health, and how Good Good Good is not competition to standard media, but rather a much-needed accompaniment. Branden tells us about the difference between hopefulness and optimism, and why the former is a wonderful tool we all have access to. We also delve into the finer details and take a peek at Good Good Good’s unique take on marketing and how Branden went from individual creator to the leader of an organization.
