How Kindness Shapes Our World: Insights from Joan Steffend Brandmeier

Send us Fan MailJoin us for a heartfelt conversation with national speaker and former news anchor, Joan Steffend Brandmeier. We discuss her journey in the media world, particularly in the Twin Cities, and her insight on the overshadowed nature of kindness in our daily news and social media feeds. We take a nostalgic trip back to Joan's days at the Brown Institute, and the joy of queuing up a vinyl record. Joan speaks about how we each say we would like more kind television and news producing, but given the choice, we choose violence and un-kindness.As we dive further into the notion of kindness, Joan unfolds the inspiring story of baseball legend Mike Veeck, the subject of the new documentary, The Saint of Second Chances. We wrap up our chat with an exploration on the power of small gestures of kindness, love, and respect. Joan, drawing from her experiences, instills in us the power of individual contributions to making the world a better place.
