The Visible Kindness Podcast

Ed Squire

Can kindness provide real solutions in a polarized and divided culture? If we paid more attention to it, would it make much of a difference? We believe the answer is, “Yes!” But we know we’re more effective working together than alone, and something exponentially powerful happens when we do. In each episode, we share kindness stories, opportunities for kindness, and ways we can partner to serve more people. read less

Understanding "The Butterfly Effect" with Ed Squire
In this episode Ed discusses what Is the Butterfly Effect is from a scientific and medical perspective.  What is the Butterfly Effect?  "A butterfly could flap its wings and set molecules of air in motion, which would move other molecules of air, and in turn move more molecules of air that eventually become capable of starting a hurricane on the other side of the planet." Is this actually true?  Science has shown The Butterfly Effect to engage with the FIRST movement of ANY form of matter…..including people. Ed takes a look at how even simple acts of kindness can make a powerful impact in ways that we didn’t expect and sometimes, we don’t even know.  Ed covers 5 practical tips to embrace The Butterfly Effect in our own lives: Start Small.Be Intentional.Practice Active Listening.Give Without Expectation.Teach and Inspire Others. Ed wraps up the show with how The Butterfly Effect teaches us that we are all deeply interconnected, and our actions, no matter how small, have power. And we all have the ability to create a world that’s more compassionate, loving, and kind with just one small gesture at a time.
