A quick check-in can change everything. Are you ready to listen? Video from Virtuoso Travel, August 2024, in conversation with Matthew Upchurch
It makes me cry each time I talk about it. A friend of mine, she told me that the week before she had a really, really hard week. And I said, "Why didn't you call me?" She says, "I did, I reached out." So of course I pull up my phone and I scroll up and I look for her texts and sure enough it says, "Hey, what are you doing?"

Define a good friend. I believe that friendship is two or more people who agree to grow together. And so a good friend is somebody who we have decided that we're gonna grow together. That's a good friend.
PODCAST đïž: Itâs our last episode of 2024 so I decided to invite comedian Trevor Noah onâŠto get as serious as possible. Most Americans know Trevor as the former host of The Daily Show, a bestselling author, and a stand-up comedian. But his brand of humor isnât just a barrel of laughs; itâs raw, witty, and often makes you see the world in a whole new way. In this conversation, we ditched the small talk (mostly) and went deep into the paradox of choice, the publicâs response to the murder of United HealthCareâs CEO, and why the human experience might be defined by constraint. It will make you chuckle, think, and probably question everything all at once. Listen to our full conversation wherever you get your podcasts đ§ P.S. After our winter break, A Bit of Optimism will be back with weekly new episodes starting January 7, 2025. Until then, take care of yourself and each other.
There's a story about a shoe salesman in Los Angeles in the 1950s. And a journalist asked him, "What's your secret?" And he said, "Two, not three." If a woman comes into my store, I'll bring her a pair of shoes. She'll try them on. And she'll say, "Could I see that pair, please?" And I'll bring her a second pair of shoes. And she said, "Could I also see that pair, please?"
Kindness and niceness arenât the same thing. Niceness is the performance: the smile, the polite silence, the moment that keeps things comfortable. Kindness is the action, even when itâs awkward or hard. Not everything kind feels good in the moment. But thatâs often the point. Video from Brilliant Minds 2025, in conversation with comedian, producer, and best-sellling author, Trevor Noah
How are you defining kindness? Well, the way I break it down is I go first I go what is not kindness? Niceness is a good example. Yeah, right a lot of people are nice Yeah, you know, I find a lot of like for instance Scandinavian Swedish people not very nice But very kind and it's a very complicated thing to understand, you know, because niceness is the perfection
