Captain Kindness: Making Brantford the Kindest City in Canada with Dave Carrol

What does a man in a superhero suit have to do with community transformation? Everything. Meet Dave Carroll — pastor, speaker, and the unexpected creator of "Captain Kindness" — who helped spark a 20-year kindness movement in Brantford, Ontario. What started with $1 car washes and late-night hot dogs turned into school visits, national TV appearances, and a cultural shift in how an entire city saw itself. In this inspiring episode of Humankindness at Work, host Jennifer Clark and Dave Carrol explore: ✔️ Why kindness is more than feelings — it's strategic action ✔️ How kindness can help communities heal from economic decline ✔️ The surprising power of showing up in a leotard (yes, really) 🔥 Don’t miss this one — hit play and be inspired. 🎧 LISTEN + SUBSCRIBE CONNECT WITH DAVE CARROL: Dave on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dkcarrol/ Dave on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/davecarrol/ Two Wise Fools Podcast https://open.spotify.com/show/5eRl0ErrfeXnkWOMXbsKHl?si=7dae2bf4b5724ab7 Freedom House www.freedomhouse.ca HOST AND PRODUCER: Jennifer Clark https://jennifersvoice.com/podcast-home FOLLOW US ON SOCIALS! https://www.instagram.com/humankindnessatwork_podcast/ https://www.facebook.com/HumankindnessatWorkPodcast/ https://www.youtube.com/@HumankindnessatWorkPodcast NEED PROFESSIONAL VOICE TALENT FOR YOUR MEDIA PROJECTS?
