How One Man's Relationships Built a Kindness Network Helping 634,000 People | Ron Smith, The Bridge to Kindness

Our Future is Kind Podcast Episode 066   Ron Smith, founder of The Bridge to Kindness and an Area Director of neighborhood bridges, turned a lifetime of community relationships into a volunteer-powered network now active in 68 communities across four states helping over 634,000 people in need. From fire victims who couldn't return to work without tools or scrubs, to a five-pillar framework connecting nonprofits, businesses, and volunteers, Ron shows what's possible when ordinary people use their gifts intentionally.   In this conversation, Ron shares how he finds commonality to build human connection across divides, why corporate social responsibility benefits everyone, and what a truly kind future looks like one neighbor knowing another by name.   Connect with Ron: Website (contact Ron / learn about Bridge to Kindness): www.TheBridgeToKindness.com   LinkedIn (contact Ron): https://www.linkedin.com/in/ron-s-7201479/?isSelfProfile=false   Please visit our website to get more information: http://ourfutureiskind.com/   Michael G.
