We're grateful for partners like Robin Lickliter at Sparks who believe brands can play a critical role in creating a kinder and more connected world.

We love working with the Taco Bell Foundation team because the impact they're making is so palpable! 🌮 Another reason we love working with the foundation is because we get to work with their incredibly talented scholars from the #LiveMasScholarship! We had the privilege of joining their team and 350+ scholars for their Summer of Connection and seeing the magic of the program in action. Alvaro Serrano and Will Tidwell blew us away with their creativity, thoughtfulness, and videography skills. One of the best parts of working on such a large platform is being able to elevate impressive work from people we admire. Here is their Summer of Connection recap so you can experience a bit of the magic yourself! Mohammad S., Daniel Horgan, Michael Nemeth, and Andrew German are working to ensure that the foundation's programming goes far beyond the check, and we couldn't be prouder to be their partners. They're proof that when people care and invest their time in fostering the talents and self-confidence of young people, amazing things can happen! 💜 Big shout to our team Mindy Nguyen, Allison Gamble, Kalynn Nguyen Noemi Salcedo, and Prutha Patel for working closely with the team and scholars to bring their vision, work, and impact to life on our channels! ✨

Our first book, GOOD PEOPLE: Stories From the Best of Humanity has been named to the Next Big Idea Club's September 2024 Must-Read Books list! Our book will be reviewed by the inimitable writers Malcolm Gladwell, Adam Grant, Susan Cain and Daniel Pink. We couldn't be more honored to join this prestigious list.
