KINDness Spreads One Bite At A Time

Every morning when I watch the news, I wonder who decided I need to know about every shooting, every hit-and-run, every barn fire that kills all the animals inside, every octopus that attempts 鈥 and fails 鈥 to escape its tank.

Where鈥檚 all the听good听苍别飞蝉?

I just found it! All I had to do was follow听.

Through this hashtag, you鈥檒l be a part of the 鈥渕oments that leave a mark and make the world a little kinder.鈥 It鈥檚 a movement started by the people at KIND Snacks, founded by听Daniel Lubetzky, who is #kindawesome himself.

Lubetzky is headlining the first day of听MCON 2015, June 24-25 in Chicago. And he truly embodies the event鈥檚 theme: The Power of Influence.

And Lubetzky鈥檚 influence reaches farther and wider than TV news.听

While he founded a company to make money, but he didn鈥檛 do it to get rich. He wanted to create a company that would encourage people to be nice to each other. He even named it KIND so that every product would carry the message.

And he leads by example. The company donates $10,000 every month to a cause. Now,听迟丑补迟鈥檚听being kind.
