Rewarding Kindness with Jimmy Darts

SIMON SINEK
About this episode

On the path to fame, most rising stars abandon their morals.

Not Jimmy Darts. He’s done just the opposite.  

Jimmy started his career as a YouTuber pulling ill-advised pranks. Two decades later, he and his 20 million fans now make the world a kinder place by donating life-changing money to unsuspecting strangers who are spontaneously kind, compassionate, or generous.

This is… A Bit of Optimism.
