Is kindness generational?

We're thrilled to welcome the grandchildren of Sandra K. Wasserman: Bret and Blake Glasser. Since Why Kindness? podcast Season 3 is dedicated to their grandmother's "kind" legacy, we thought a sit-down with the siblings would be a lovely way to wrap things up. The students join host and kindness.org CEO Jaclyn Lindsey for a heartfelt conversation on why kindness is a most vital trait to pass down.

Key takeaways:

From a school assignment to a simple "thank you," Bret and Blake illustrate how small acts have big ripple effects.
The unkindness Bret and Blake may have witnessed during their schooling.
How family shapes how we learn and activate kindness.
A surprise phone call, plus more.

Thank you to the Wasserman Glasser Family for making this season of Why Kindness? possible.

Their gift, made in loving memory of Kindmaker Sandra K. Wasserman, honors her enduring belief that kindness is our greatest strength. Sandy’s legacy continues to inspire, reminding us that the most profound acts of kindness often happen quietly- through presence, empathy, and care.

As we connected with guests around the world, Sandy’s spirit of kindness was a constant reminder that every act, no matter how small, can make a difference. Sandy often said, “Thank you for your kindness.” Through the generosity of the Wasserman Glasser family, her words and her impact continue to ripple outward.
