Show notes

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with some instant inspiration from Chicken Soup for the Soul. And today we’re talking about the joy of giving—and learning to ask for help—and Canadians, who are famous for being nice. They are so famous for being nice that we compiled 101 stories about Canadian Acts of Kindness into a new book and we’re donating a portion of the profits to United Way Centraide Canada. One of the themes that emerged in this book is that you shouldn’t be afraid to ask for help, because people WANT to help, they’re just afraid to offer.
