The Kindness Chronicles

The Great Minnesota Get Together...a combination of food, fun and apparently FIGHTS on the Midway. We discuss the Kindness experienced at the fair and the unfortunate chaos we also endured.

In a world dominated by political divisiveness, St. Paul/Minnesota lost one of the least divisive, most lovable "politicians" to ever hold office. George Latimer was THAT guy. His dear friend, and John's "Uncle Harry" joins us in remembering a St. Paul legend.

KG (finally) got us a good one. Kidding, of course. We discover a really important part of  Paul Allen (KFAN's 9-Noon host/Voice of the Minnesota Vikings/ Canterbury Track Announcer). For those who know him well, his gift of calling a play, calling a race and just plain storytelling is second to none. For the Kindness Chronicles, his gift of hospitality (after experiencing countless technical difficulties on our end) was on  full display. WHAT. A. GUY. 

Do you remember when they had commercials like, "this week on a very special Blossom?" This is one of those weeks. Heather and Randy Bacchus share the story of their son's tragic story, the perils of "today's marijuana" on the developing brain and how it has led to the development of Be Extraordinary. Be You.

From MN Nice to True Confessions. The positive side of bad choices.

We discuss Minnesota Nice...is it always nice? 

We visit with EJ and Nicole McNaulty about their unique organization that honors their late son, Michael, by spreading kindness thru incredible candles that deliver a powerful message. Check them out at AKindness.co. 

We talkin' dogs for the 4th of July, Betty, Milty, Fenway, Brooks and Belle. 

We weren't able to connect with Taylor for our live podcast, but we explore the Taylor Swift phenomenon and the role kinds plays in her "brand."

Buckle up for the enthusiasm of Tommy McBrayer, the Founder and CEO of aptly named non-profit, Don't Shoot Guns, Shoot Hoops. Living with gun violence in Minneapolis, Tommy, a two-time  gun violence survivor turned his trauma into hope for hundereds of young men and boys in Minneapolis and St. Paul.
