Blake Talks Good... Podcast
I’m thrilled to announce the launch of my new podcast, Blake Talks Good (thanks to Julie Jennings for the double-entendre name!) Search for that name and you'll find me on Spotify, Apple, and Youtube. This podcast is dedicated to helping you maximize the good you do in the world, whether you're an individual or part of a charity, church, or any other organization. I'll share practical advice to help you translate compassion into action to do meaningful, long-term good in your community. Please subscribe, like, and share.
The first two episodes are live. Episode 1: “What and Why” shares the purpose and motivation for this podcast. This is the foundational episode and includes my personal background and OnRamp's origin story.
Episode 2: “Are your good deeds doing any good?” answers one of the most important questions I get from individuals, non-profits, and churches who are trying to help people in need: How do you measure success? You're doing good deeds - that's wonderful - but how do you know if you are actually DOING any good in the world? So many people never ask; they simply pat themselves on the back for doing a good deed and go on their way. But that can actually lead to such harm that it would have been better if you'd done nothing at all! So how can you know if your good works are actually making a positive impact?
After this opening week, new episodes will drop every 2 weeks on Tuesday mornings. Here's three upcoming episodes I'm excited to share with you (names and order subject to change):
Ep 3: Don't Play God
Ep 4: My Worst Sermon Ever
Ep 5: How to Find and Become a Great Leader
