Hey Do Good Crew,

This week, a few stories about what happens when kindness catches you by surprise. You didn’t ask for it. You weren’t expecting it. But sometimes, it changes what you do next.

  • Spotlight: Stranded in 107-degree heat with no cell service, one man watched car after car pass. Then a stranger stopped and changed everything.

  • The Person Who Believed In Me: Howie Mandel talks about Joan Rivers’ influence on his career and the live moment that changed how he now talks about OCD.

  • Dear David: A retired grandfather in New Jersey has handed out thousands of free lunches. But the food is only part of the story.

  • Goodie Bag: A man made it out of dangerous floodwaters in Central Texas. Then rescuers went back for one more family member.

  • One More Thing: We brought the Do Good Crew together in Lafayette, Louisiana, for our first-ever live event. It was a chance to celebrate some incredible local heroes, like Ms. Joyce, and the good happening right in my hometown.

And now, we want to hear from you! We’ve set up a voicemail to get your good news. Call (323) 205-6644 and tell us about something good that’s happened to you. We might give you a shoutout in a future newsletter or on social.

Let’s get into it!
