LIVE || Retro Joy & Real Connection (RISE ABOVE THE NOISE) 📱

Описание: Today’s Kindness Rising is a little different.
No single theme. No thesis.
Just five things I like — and why I think they’re worth noticing.

We talk about:

1. Covey — Art as Awakening
Years ago, one of Covey’s songs arrived in my life at exactly the moment I needed a flashlight and not a spotlight. Now he’s livestreaming the creation of his next album 24/7 from a cabin in the woods — not as promo, but as process. The future of art might look less like performance and more like becoming.

2. Dawn-Marie Solais — Kindness Spotlight (Human Edition)
A lived expert in neurodiversity, communication, and belonging. We met through a random LinkedIn connection, discovered we lived in the same town, and did something old-fashioned: we got coffee. Her work is authentic, lived, passionate, and worth paying attention to.

3. Live-Streaming — Presence Over Polish
People watched more than 30 billion hours of livestreams last year. Teens use it as a room, not a broadcast. Live is vulnerable, participatory, sometimes risky, and deeply human. The real question isn’t whether livestreaming is good or bad — it’s what kind of rooms we’re building with it.

4. The Slow Collapse of “Cool”
For decades, cool meant distance. Aloofness. Irony. Gen Z quietly replaced it with sincerity, curiosity, and weird hobbies. Cool is about scarcity; sincerity is about connection. And kindness lives on the sincerity side of the spectrum.

5. Retro Joy & Real Connection
I was gifted a console loaded with thousands of games from the 70s–90s. Atari, Sega, NES — all of it. Playing them again with my kids reminded me that nostalgia isn’t just sentimental — it can be generous. It lets us offer a piece of who we were without insisting it was better. That’s retro joy. And that’s real connection.

This episode is a reminder that the world is full of small, curious, meaningful details if we just slow down enough to notice them.

Kindness Rising is a daily conversation about curiosity, culture, kindness, emotional intelligence, and the quiet things that make life interesting.
