Listen "The Science of Doing Good w. Brad Calhoun"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of The Art of Good, I sit down with Brad Calhoun, a man whose life journey has spanned acting, ministry, academia, and now psychology. Brad shares his fascinating story—growing up in a family deeply rooted in service, navigating careers in film, faith, and education, and his ongoing pursuit of a PhD in psychology.Together, we explore the science behind doing good—why acts of kindness and service positively impact both the giver and the receiver, and how behavioral psychology supports the idea that giving is essential for well-being. 00:00 Introduction and Mission00:18 Meet Brad Calhoun01:49 Brad's Upbringing and Family Values05:33 College and Career Path10:17 The Intersection of Faith and Acting14:20 The Science of Doing Good19:47 Behavior and Cognitive Therapy23:27 Encouraging the Next Generation36:40 The Importance of Mental Health40:27 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsFollow John Cervenka on Starfish: https://www.starfishapp.com/profile/johncervenkaCheck out John on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-k-cervenka-32615413/Follow Brad on Starfish: https://www.starfishapp.com/profile/P3flvIvVq6Ul9CHoba5sAztRsDh2Are you a non-profit that wants to connect with current supporters, amplify your marketing efforts, and attract new supporters and new donors to your cause?
