Vanessa Branco shares the good power of Sunbolt, the company that creates solar powered work stations that can pretty much be set up anywhere. This is about clean energy, right from the sun above, creating connection. And not just for our phones and laptops, it's about connecting people, keeping us safe, and showing kindness to our planet. We talk about they way a simple idea takes flight, why working outside is an equally enticing place to sitting in a cubicle all day, and how the next generation is leading the way, literally, into our future. Who's ready for some good green times? It's our favorite color here at World Gone Good.

Diane Dieterich followed her heart right to a greener pasture - literally - that's the name of her farm rescue. Greener Pastures is a 2023 top-rated great non-profit award winner and they're featured on Redfin's Bucket List as a must-see in San Luis Obispo, California, so they got a lot of good going on and a lot of good to share. Their good includes Dinkey, who back in 2019 became a social media sensation as the pig who lost twenty-plus pounds and inspired others around him to do the same. And that's what Diane - and this farm rescue - is all about: inspiration, motivation and uplifting others to make good happen in as many selfless ways as possible. Can I get an oink-men? (Sorry, it's the best I can do on limited caffeine intake today).

Geri Jewell meets Carol Burnett in this good bonus. If you don't believe in visual and creative manifestation, you may just change your mind after hearing this story. If you can see it, you can make it happen. Anything is possible.

Geri Jewell is a comedian, actor and author who just happens to have cerebral palsy. When she crossed paths with legendary TV producer Norman Lear, her life changed forever and so did ours. Her portrayal of Cousin Geri on The Facts of Life was a ratings bonanza. She's gone on to many other projects but stand up comedy has always been her happy place. Her new book, Geri's Jewels & Gems spotlights the many columns she has written over the years and proves there is no stopping any of us when we set our mind to something we are passionate about. We talk about her first time on stage at just 18 months old all the way to her final meeting with Lear at his home where Dustin Hoffman just also happened to show up - only in Hollywood. Geri is the definition of inspiration. And she's also a damn good hilarious time.

Will Keck spent his early career chasing scandals and digging up dirt. Now he's put all those stories into his own memoir, When You Step Upon A Star: Cringeworthy Confessions of a Tabloid Bad Boy. But this isn't some gossip-ridden, tattle-tale, tell all. It's the story of one man trying to find himself in all the wrong Hollywood places. Will joins us to share his love of television, specifically shows like The Brady Bunch, Eight Is Enough, The Six Million Dollar Man and more that all served as surrogate members of the family he longed to have, how some of the biggest stars he idolized and then had to demonize have forgiven him, and most importantly, how through it all he found himself and his place in the world. We also talk about why society finds itself so drawn to celebrities, how all that glitters isn't necessarily gold, and the importance of stepping outside our own secret identities. From the Ewings of Dallas to the Carringtons of Dynasty, with a pitstop in Walnut Grove, this episode guarantees a nostalgic good time.

Wendy Miller loves cats and cards, games and fun. That last word is the most important one. She's someone who follows her fun and it's taken her to many hilarious places including Cat Con. We talk about the secret to happiness, how expectations will get you every time, and why your dumbest idea might just be your best idea. If you're hiding your secret passion it's time to let your freak flag fly (or in this case, your kitty litter fly). Prepare to be inspired by someone who is not just meowing the meow, she's walking the cat walk (OK, I'll stop with the cat puns). And finally, Wendy was also in a Morris the Cat commercial as a child and if that doesn't make you listen to this episode, I don't know what will.

Ryan Basham & Tara Devlin are two loud and proud activists, both on a good mission to keep democracy alive. Look, we get it, no one wants or needs another show about politics. But politics are part of our life whether we like it or not so why don't we do what we do best here on World Gone Good and hold hands, dive in, and find the light in the darkness together? Ryan and Tara share their goals in spreading the word as they strive to do on a daily basis and offer up good suggestions for what we can do as citizens and members of our own communities both locally and at large. Is it too late? They don't think so. Is there any hope left? They say hell yeah and plenty of it if we all do our part. This is the good democracy show you've been needing.

Vanessa Marshall's motto? There's nothing to get, only to give. You may not recognize her face but you know her voice as she's brought to life Wonder Woman, Black Canary, Star Wars Rebels' Hera, Gamora from Guardians of the Galaxy and even Spiderman's girlfriend Mary Jane - and that's just to name a few. You can hear her on TV and radio voicing promos and commercials and countless video games where she's part of the fun. Now she's using that voice to uplift others, specifically charities and organizations she's passionate about, by playing games - literally - and inviting us all to join in on the fun. We talk everything from growing up as part of Hollywood royalty to becoming a plus-sized model to how we first met (we have different versions/memories of this) and so much more. It's always great when friends stop by to share their good and Vanessa is here to do just that.

Angela Briones is the proud host of The Gay Podcast for Everyone - and when she says everyone, she means everyone. Whether you align yourself as gay or straight, we all have room to learn from and grow with one another. And that includes Angela herself who discovered her own bias just by doing her show and that discovery caused her to dive deeper and become more open. We talk about the straight parents raising LGBQT kids she features on her show, how she came out to her own parents and whether or not they made it out alive from an escape room (not necessarily in that order). This is another example of how much the world is changing and evolving - and how acceptance, support and love are our shared experience.

Denise Montrose returns to the show so prepare for a moo-ving experience. We catch up about life on the farm including how she's gone from two to ten cows rescued (plus another twenty placed) and how she's grown as a person and a care-giver of animals over the last few years. Denise is one of the most honest guests we've ever had - meaning she wears her heart on her sleeve and at the same time questions her own steps she has made and keeps making in her effort to do more good in the world (who of us hasn't?). We also discuss the Valentine's Day FaceTime I received from one of her cows. Yes. Seriously. It happened. Great to have her back on another episode with us.
