S3E16 - A Conversation with Joolz Casey

What if…the world were a kinder place? What would it look like? What would it feel like? How would a kinder world begin? Lamar and Tom talk with Joolz Casey, the founder of #behumankind about these and other questions. In this episode Joolz Casey introduces the #behumankind movement, which promotes kindness and empathy as essential components of living a fulfilling life. The discussion also touches on the significance of community care, the impact of language on perceptions of kindness, and the challenges of burnout in caregiving roles. Joolz describes the #behumankind model, its application for individuals, teams, and organizations, and the importance of kindness in fostering a supportive community. Joolz also shares insights on the international expansion of the movement, personal impacts of the #behumankind philosophy, and the significance of routines and habits in spreading kindness.A 3rd Space Survey: Acts of KindnessThis week we introduce a standing poll on kindness, which was inspired by our conversation with Joolz Casey of #behumankind. We’d like to share results from this poll in each episode. You can participate by answering two simple questions: What is an act of kindness you’ve received that made a difference to you? What is an act of kindness you have done which you hope changed another person’s life?You can find the poll at this link: https://forms.gle/5NQakn6bgeXpm2us5 Learn more: Learn more about #behumankind: www.behuman-kind.comHave a taste of the #behumankind member experience: https://members.behuman-kind.com/spaces/6418576/contentCreate a #behumankind account (free): https://members.behuman-kind.com/feed?autojoin=1Schedule a chat with Joolz Casey: https://calendly.com/joolz/121-catch-up?month=2025-08Visit the #behumankind LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/72217530/admin/dashboard/How We Check OurselvesFact Checking: Because there are a lot of things happening…some true, some false, some unbelievable…we use the following fact checking sites.
