Do Good, Be Good Podcast is a show for people who strive to do meaningful work in public service and helping professions.

You got into a career in service, so you know the secret. It is difficult. And sometimes messy and awkward and confusing.

This fascinates me and that is why I started this podcast.

On the Do Good, Be Good podcast I interview people doing meaningful work (paid or volunteer). We talk about the challenges they have faced when trying to be helpful. The people I talk to are committed to making the world a better place, but they are not trying to be the next Mother Teresa.

In fact, most of the time we end up talking about the ridiculous, funny, and weird things that happen in this line of work.

I publish a new episode every week. The best way to listen is in a podcast app on your smartphone.
