Duane Kuiper
Welcome to the Good Tidings Podcast with host, Larry Harper, Founder of the Good Tidings Foundation. This podcast is all about highlighting the good in people and what individuals are doing to make an impact in this world. On today’s episode, Larry chats with his longtime friend, San Francisco Giants legendary broadcast and 13-time Emmy Award winner, Duane Kuiper.
This podcast highlights Duane’s journey from growing up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin to dreaming of someday becoming a Major League Baseball player. Duane shares what a blessing it was to be traded from the Cleveland Indians to the San Francisco Giants, including a funny story about how he once tried to block the trade. The conversation continues as Duane reflects on how he transitioned from player to broadcaster in a single weekend— a rare path, as only a handful of play-by-play broadcasters are former players. Larry also shares with the audience that Duane has been nominated five times for Baseball’s Hall of Fame as a broadcaster, a recognition long overdue. They close out the conversation by discussing many ways Duane has supported and engaged with community-focused programs throughout his more than four decades with the Giants organization.

Lisa Sobrato Sonsini
Welcome to the Good Tidings Podcast with host, Larry Harper, Founder of the Good Tidings Foundation. This podcast is all about highlighting the good in people and what individuals are doing to make an impact in this world. On today’s episode, Larry sits down with a Good Tidings “OG” Lisa Sobrato Sonsini.
This podcast highlights Lisa’s involvement right from the start to get the Good Tidings Foundation formed as an official non-profit charity. The best part about their happenstance meet up was that Larry did not know of her family’s philanthropic history. The discussion continues where Lisa describes her grandmother Ann who gained renown as the “Mother of Silicon Valley”—one of the most successful developers in what has become the leading technology region in the world. Then Lisa shares how her father took his mother’s vision in combining a profitable business that equally gives back to the community. Sobrato Philanthropies mission is to partner with communities to meet immediate needs, address systemic barriers, and pursue social justice to build a more equitable and sustainable world. Her family has now gone on to sign The Giving Pledge, founded by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, where they will give away all of their wealth to charity during their lifetime.

[…] Yeah. I've been there 33 years now. 33 years. That's a pretty good house band. Yeah. Beach band. Yeah, beach band. So it's been almost 10 years now since you started the Henry Capono Foundation. Tell us a little bit about your mission. Our mission is to empower the next generation as far as music and teaching them the business of music. You know, I've had a great career. I've learned a lot. You get your ups and your downs and constantly learning something. And I wanted to pass it on to the next generation because I felt so fortunate to be able to have that experience and try to deflect them from having the wrong experiences, but also teaching them how to thrive in the music industry.
