My greatest thing that I can do is to help people see the beauty in themselves.
You know, I always say, my job, it's falling in love with people more and more each day.
I love people.
I love people.
I don't care what you believe.
I don't care if you believe what I believe.
You don't believe what I believe.
You're from this religion, that ethnicity, this location.
I don't care.
You're a human being.
I love you.
And I don't just say those words.
I really, really feel it.
Imagine being a kid, coming home and finding out that your family, who had been struggling at the time, was now in a totally different place because your house burned down and the entire family had to separate, had to split up into dispersed households all over the place.
Well, that's what happened when today's guest, Orli Waba, was a kid.
That led her, instead of falling apart, to deepen into a sense of astonishing resilience and lead with this unshakable ethos of kindness and generosity, she ended up becoming the middle school teacher that every kid wishes they had.
And every parent of every kid who's ever been through middle school dreams of having as a teacher.
And an experience while she was teaching led her on a journey of discovery that ended up taking her out of teaching and starting her own foundation called Life Vest Inside, which is based on spreading kindness throughout the world.
As part of that, she had an idea in her head to create a video, tapped her former education, actually, she went to school for film and went back and basically did the entire thing herself.
She shot it, produced it, edited it, put it up online, and it absolutely exploded.
