Summary
Houston Kraft, educator, speaker, and co-founder of CharacterStrong, joins us to talk about what it really takes to build a kinder world. Author of Deep Kindness , Houston has worked with hundreds of schools helping students and educators move beyond "random acts" toward systems of belonging, empathy, and purpose. We dig into why kindness is a skill that must be taught, how culture shapes connection, and what it means to practice compassion in daily life.
