About this episode

Nora and her son Ralph discuss the importance of taking action to combat despair and highlight the positive aspects of the world.

Things are not good in the world right now, and you don’t need us to tell you that. But despair is also not good. Having no hope is not good. And Nora believes that the antidote to despair is action – doing things for others in whatever capacity you can. So she and her son Ralph are bringing back IGTBO for you as an exercise in seeing the OK things in the world around you, even when it seems like all hope is lost. ⁠Watch us on YouTube here⁠!
