Changing the Narrative: Raising Kids in a World Full of Good News

Loading player...
Brent Lindeque built South Africa's top good news platform on a simple belief: there's more good in the world than we think and that matters even more when you're raising kids in it.

In this episode, Projeni sits down with Brent; entrepreneur, journalist, and the man behind Good Things Guy to talk about why negativity dominates our feeds, how to raise hopeful and resilient children without shielding them from reality, and what the science says about positive framing and family wellbeing. Brent also shares standout stories from Good Things Guy, reflects on his lunch with Oprah, and myth-busts some of the biggest misconceptions about "good news" as a philosophy.

If you're parenting in a season that feels heavy, this conversation is a reset.
