In this episode of Humankindness at Work, host Jennifer Clark talks with Daniel Yang, Senior Director of Global Mission and Church Movements at World Relief, about the power of curiosity, belonging, and shared humanity in building stronger communities.

Daniel's own story begins with his family's escape from Laos after the Vietnam War. As Hmong refugees, Daniel's family spent over a year in a Thai refugee camp before a small church in East Moline, Illinois sponsored them. Daniel was born just months after they arrived in the US, and was named by the woman who helped his family rebuild their lives.

In this conversation, Daniel shares:

• His family's journey from the Laotian civil war to refugee resettlement in the US
• How a heart attack at age 41 led him to understand generational trauma
• Why curiosity, not fear, is essential to building resilient, diverse communities
• Practical, simple ways anyone can start building relationships with immigrant and refugee neighbors
• What World Relief does and how you can get involved

In this episode of Humankindness at Work, host Jennifer Clark talks with Mason Bennett, Executive Director of One Kind Act a Day, about the surprisingly powerful ripple effects of daily kindness.

Mason shares real stories from the impact of One Kind Act a Day: a school that used "kindness coins" to heal a staff culture where teachers were bullying each other, an award-winning kindness curriculum taught inside correctional facilities, and a survey finding that 75% of program participants said the hardest person to be kind to was themselves.

You'll also hear:

✔️ Why Mason refuses to strictly define kindness

✔️ The "bag of chips" theory on kindness

✔️ What the Pledge of Kindness is, and how you can join for free

How do we make a difference for those in pain?

In this episode of Humankindness at Work, Jennifer has a conversation with her childhood best friend, Dr. Chasity Brimeyer, a pediatric psychologist specializing in chronic pain. Chasity shares a principle she learned from Father Gregory Boyle that shapes how she shows up for others, both professionally and personally: “We all belong to each other, no exceptions.”

This conversation goes beyond her clinical work to explore the universal experience of pain, and how we can ease each other’s burdens.

In this conversation, you’ll hear these takeaways:

→ Pain, whether physical or emotional, is often invisible, which makes it easy to overlook in the people around us.

→ Supporting someone doesn't require expertise. It requires patience, presence, and a willingness to show up even when you don't know what to say.

→ Small, consistent gestures - a message, a lunch invitation, simply noticing someone's absence - can make the difference between someone feeling isolated and feeling seen.

→ Building a culture where everyone feels like they belong starts with individuals deciding no one gets left outside the circle.

You don't have to be a healthcare professional to make a real difference in someone else’s pain.

What’s one thing you’ll do this week?
