NOW HUDSON HENLY, WHO RECENTLY WAS THE Co-Star Son to Kate Hudson & Hugh Jackman in Song Sung Blue Movie, AND A FINE ACTOR AND A COHOST OF OUR BROADCAST TODAY. (Paul asks HUDSON, “What kind of impact do I want to make in the world?) THAT WAS POWERFUL
I ASKED MY OWN GRANDCHILDREN WHO ARE OUT OF TOWN WITH COLLEGE AND SCHOOL ACTIVITIES WHAT KIND OF IMPACT DO THEY WANT TO MAKE IN THE WORLD.
JULIA SAID Being sixteen years old limits my perception of what I think I am capable of. Adults are typically the ones to make significant changes, and kids are the inheritors of their designs. I don’t want to build a new system, though; I want to fix the underlying fractures present in our current ones. Through small acts of kindness enacted by every individual, the world would ultimately become a better place. Even so, it goes beyond just kindness and rather calls for a rebirth of humanity. I want to play a small role in simply being a good human: helping others when they are at their lowest point, understanding perspectives, and connecting. We, as a collective, share the human experience; it should be all of our duties to preserve it.
JASON SAID I want to leave the world a better place than I found it, something I believe is everyone’s individual responsibility. Instead of just consuming, I want to produce and contribute to society. Overall, I want to be a net giver. I want to be there and help those most in need and those at their lowest points. And I want to make society more prosperous by building products that improve society
PAUL THANK YOU MIA, JULIA, HUDSON AND JASON.
ROB gives Hudson and Mia a hug planet, BALL and pic. Paul GIVE THE RECOGNITION CERTIFICATE.
