1. From Self-Deprecation to Self-Empowerment: Steve Gamlin on the Power of Positivity and Philanthropy Mike 40:04

Have you ever laughed at yourself to beat others to the punchline? Steve Gamlin, our jack-of-all-trades guest, takes us on an adventure from self-deprecation to self-empowerment in our latest Kindness Matters podcast episode. As a skydiver, base jumper, and motivational speaker, Steve has a unique perspective on life's ups and downs—literally. We chat about his transition from a comedy writer to a voice of positivity, and how a stormy epiphany on a golf course helped him to harness the power of positive self-talk and change his life's path for the better.

Philanthropy isn't just a buzzword for our guest; it's a way of living. Steve shares his personal evolution toward giving back through Beach Bum Philanthropy, starting from a modest vow to donate a part of his earnings and growing into a substantial, heartfelt mission. We peel back the curtain on the joys, misconceptions, and genuine impact of altruism, demonstrating that the act of giving is not just about the dollars but also about the difference one makes.

As we wrap up this episode, it's clear that Steve's journey is not just inspiring—it's a call to action for all of us to foster deeper connections and be a source of inspiration in our own circles. His approach to life Coaching and kindness isn't just about feeling good; it's about creating real change, one act of kindness at a time. Tune in for an episode that celebrates the human spirit and proves that, indeed, kindness matters.
