A husband and wife engineering duo on a quest to spread positivity and good stories to perk up your morning and lessen news anxiety. Hear good, do good, and spread good!
Episode 29: Bird Reintroduction, Repurposing for a Cause, Age is Just a Number, and Wildfire Fundraising
Hello, good people!!
We're Natalie and Chris, a husband and wife engineering duo, and we're on a mission to help you hear good, do good, and spread good. We want to help improve the well-being of others by helping to spread good news and positivity to help you get out of the rut of only hearing about negativity and drama. There's still good that occurs in the world, too!
Today we talk about the reintroduction of a bird species in New Zealand that was once thought to be extinct, a yard sale at Marquette University that helps to provide free/low cost supplies to students in need, the incredible three-generation adventure in Yosemite National Park, and the heroic efforts of a 5-year-old and his family to raise funds for those in need from the devastating wildfires in Maui, Hawaii.
We hope you have an amazing day!
