In the second episode of The Kindness Extremist Podcast, host Shola Richards explores the often-unspoken truth that kindness requires courage—especially when it means stepping into uncomfortable situations.

Sharing a vulnerable story about a moment of inaction in a department store, Shola reflects on the powerful lesson he learned: neutrality can unintentionally support unkindness. He invites listeners to break the silence and take meaningful action, even when it’s hard.

You’ll learn three practical strategies to help you show up with courage and compassion.

This episode concludes with powerful, actionable homework to help you practice courageous kindness in your daily life—because small acts from ordinary people truly can change the world.
