Before the podcast. Before the platform. It started with a single act of kindness.
Brent Lindeque flipped a reckless drinking game on its head by buying a homeless man a R20 meal and unknowingly sparked a global movement.
That one moment of kindness went viral, reached millions, inspired feeding schemes across the world, and became the heartbeat of Good Things Guy.
In this special episode of Good Things with Brent Lindeque, we go back to where it all began. This is the origin story... for those who’ve just joined the community, or those who’ve been here from the start and want to feel inspired all over again.
