This week it was a treat for me to speak with my friend Debbi Marco, author, freelance journalist and fellow champion of kindness. Debbi gives great advice on how to succeed in a tough industry "be the helpful and the kind person... it helps get you remembered" We talk about how important it is to actively choose the news we consume, rather than just scrolling though our social media feeds "don't take one news source... especially if it is just telling you what you want to hear". Debbi talks about how and where she has found hope recently in helping refugees and witnessing the kindness of so many people. This was something she wrote about beautifully in her new book "The Power of Kindness" an international collection of stories of kindness that happened during lockdown. We spoke about utopia and Deb's hopes for the future too, in which she imagined a future in which kindness was normal, harnessing the power to change the world for better, for good.
