info_outlineIn this episode of the Journey of My Mother’s Son podcast, I talk with Bryan Driscoll.
Bryan is a first-time author with a passion for inspiring kindness and creating positive change in the world. Twenty years ago, a stranger literally picked him up off the street and gave him a plate of spaghetti and a bedroom he had to share with an oversized cat. This small act of kindness sparked an unending desire to pay it forward, ultimately leading to the goodness game.
That one small act of kindness left an indelible mark on Bryan’s life and set off a ripple effect that lasted over twenty years now, with most recently leading him to write his first book, The Goodness Game.
Bryan states, “It all started with a single act of kindness. About 20 years ago, I found myself at a crossroads in life-lost and unsure of where I was heading. That's when a kind stranger, a woman I'll never forget, picked me up off the street and gave me a helping hand when I needed it most. This small act changed the entire course of my life, reminding me of the power one person can have on another's future.”
“Years later, I decided to pay it forward. Inspired by that experience, I made a simple Craigslist post offering free help to anyone in need. The response was overwhelming, and that small gesture quickly caught the attention of local media. The story spread across the country, making national headlines as a shining example of how small acts of kindness can create a ripple effect far larger than you ever imagined.”
He lives in Pittsburgh with an amazing wife who puts up with his insanity—and probably encourages it more than she should. He has three sons, all different and awesome in their own way. They say they get their awesomeness from their father, and he won’t argue, even if everyone knows the truth.
He runs a successful digital marketing agency and is an active real estate investor, though he’d tell you his biggest strength is getting back up when life punches him in the face. And it’s punched him quite a few times, though a few of those punches might have been deserved.
When he’s not working, Bryan enjoys mountain biking, skiing with his sons, and spending time with his family. He focuses on living in the moment, avoiding the distractions of social media, and helping others achieve personal and professional growth through public speaking and teaching.
