"Ms. Shannon Whiting was my son's preschool teacher for 2 years and has had a lasting impact on him. She is one of the kindest souls we have ever met and truly has a heart of gold.


"She continues to watch out for our son even though he is no longer in her class. His eyes light up when he talks about her or sees her. She is the main reason he doesn't cry anymore when he goes to school.

"We are forever grateful to have her in our lives!"

--Mary Catherine Riddick

"Jesse Eldridge owns and operates a "Home Cooking" take-and-bake restaurant. He makes sure that when there is a fundraiser going on in town, he is there with pizzas, sandwiches and salads for everyone. He makes sure that even if you don't have enough money for food, that you will be able to get something from his place.

"He never asks for help and I know he really needs help right now. Costs are going way up and he's keeping his prices very low so people can still afford it.

"Jesse gives to the community on a daily basis. He has a very big heart for everyone around."

"It is so appreciated!"

-Tina Rice

Celebrate those who give and serve. Find more good in the world. Lead a more generous life.

Welcome to Crazy Good Turns. We explore the meaning of generosity and gratitude, and highlight inspiring ways people bring them to life.

We believe recognition creates a virtuous cycle, where good deeds are seen, highlighted and spread.

Our podcasts feature conversations with people who take the thought of helping someone else and turn it into action. Guests include leaders from all walks of life, as well as authors, doctors, entrepreneurs, creative minds, and everyday people trying to do good.

We provide gifts for our audience, including thought-provoking books. Our newsletter offers meditations on acts of kindness and giving.

Discover why the time you spend thinking and learning about generosity is some of the best time you’ll spend.
