If you are familiar with the internet, ( who isn’t? ) you’ve seen the videos on Facebook, YouTube, and the news, of video bloggers and do-gooders on the streets trying to bring up the kindness karma levels. The videos show ladies and gents handing out food or toiletries to homeless on the streets, offering the elderly rides, and sometimes surprising total strangers with awesome random gestures of kindness.
But who are these people? I have wondered this, and also the what, where, and most specifically the why, that they would go out of their way to be totally awesome. I reached out to one of these guys that I have been following to find out the answers to all my curiosities.
I wasn’t disappointed.
The name, Aspire To Inspire, represents one man’s dream to hit the streets, do as much good as possible, help as many people as he can, and to embrace the lifestyle of loving your neighbor. You can find his videos on his YouTube channel. They feature a fun and upbeat group of characters on the streets of Detroit, trying to do good in a city that has the reputation of anything but. They have done incredible things ranging from helping the homeless to giving strangers a designated driver on St. Patrick’s Day; one of the most popular days to get pulled over for DUIs.
Some of the videos feature a group of guys pulled from the street to be featured because they were happily dancing and enjoying life. How awesome is that!? The world can certainly use more happiness and we need more coverage of it. That’s the message they offer, be kind and spread happiness.
I gave them a homework assignment. I gave them a list of questions I had, and they were so happy to oblige that I got what I asked for and more! They answer all my questions in the videos above. Give them a watch!

What an interesting interview!! Thanks for sharing!
I love this so much!! Kindness is rare now a days, and to see such amazing ways to help a stranger out, it is inspirational! Those are the real heroes!
Yes, kindness should be spread around like confetti! It’s always amazing to see humans helping humans! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for sharing this content! Glad to see that there are people dedicating their time to inspire others. And helping the homeless 🙂
Love the idea of spreading kindness to total strangers! Great interview 🙂
We’ve never seen Aspire to Inspire, but it’s such a great idea. Kindness is a rarity, but we are always trying to help anyway we can. Just last week, we saw some confused kids on the subway and offered to help figure out where they were going and what stop to get out at.
Really interesting interview! It’s always so nice to inspire kindness!
this was a really interesting interview! i love hearing stories of people giving selflessly and being kind to others!
This design is wicked! You obviously know how to keep a reader amused.
Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Excellent job.
I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.
Too cool!
