”Kindness Always Rewards Everyone” - Steve Terreri - The Paul Dostie KARE Foundation

In this heart-centered episode, Dave MacNiven sits down with Steve Terreri, Vice President and Executive Director of the Paul Dostie KARE Foundation, to share a story that proves kindness reverberates far beyond the moment it’s given. Created in memory of master mechanic and community pillar Paul Dostie, the foundation has turned grief into action—raising over $300,000 to help families facing glioblastoma and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).

Steve reflects on Paul’s legacy of generosity, including the astonishing full-circle moment when a woman whose transmission he fixed decades earlier helped bring him home in his final hours. You'll hear how CareFest came to be, how the foundation goes from zero to impactful every June, and why their mantra—“Kindness Always Rewards Everyone”—is more than just a tagline; it’s a way of life.

He also shares his personal health hack, rooted in CrossFit and resilience, proving that mission-driven work starts with self-care and a bit of sweat equity.
