Episode 2: Sometimes, all it takes to change someone’s life is showing up.

When Jennifer and Jack Zebo first volunteered to serve the homeless years ago, they never imagined it would change their lives. Now, they run a grassroots movement helping over 100 people in need every week in Pittsburgh.

If you’re a local, you probably already heard about the Harvest Street Mission. Volunteers of all ages and backgrounds bring meals, donate clothes, and even offer services like haircuts. But they don’t just help out with materialistic things. One of the most important things they do is connect with those in need, offering them a safe place and genuine human interactions.

The Harvest Street Mission proves that anyone can make a difference and that sometimes, all it takes to change someone's life is showing up.

Episode 1: One small act of kindness can change your life forever.

I learned that from personal experience…

At 18, I ran away from home with nothing but $200 to my name. One day, after my money ran out, I ended up at the Greyhound station, planning to crash there until I figured something out. That’s when a woman picked me up off the street, gave me food, a place to sleep, and a chance to get back on my feet.

Though I never got the chance to repay her directly, I was inspired to pay it forward. And that’s how the goodness game was born—a game that turns acts of kindness into a fun, intentional, and impactful practice.

The purpose of this podcast is to spread the word about the goodness game. We’ll share real stories of the impact of kindness, practical tips for incorporating good deeds into your routine, and insights into how you can align giving with your unique strengths. Whether you’re a parent, an entrepreneur, or simply someone who wants to make a difference, this podcast is for you.

Join us as we explore how small acts of kindness can create big changes—starting with you.

Key Takeaways:

• 00:00 Intro

• 01:49 The purpose of this podcast

• 02:45 The origin story of the goodness game

• 10:31 What exactly is the goodness game?

• 11:45 The 5 rules of the goodness game

• 15:20 What to expect in future episodes
