In 1826, young salt trader Samuel Meharry found himself stranded in a swamp on the Kentucky-Tennessee border. Helpless and alone, he was saved by a recently freed Black family who had every reason to keep moving—but chose compassion over fear. In gratitude, Meharry made a promise: “I have no money, but when I can, I shall do something for your race.”Fifty years later, he and his brothers fulfilled that vow by founding Meharry Medical College, the first medical school in the South for Black students. This powerful act transformed Black healthcare, educated generations of physicians, and even influenced the desegregation of the U.S. military. A single act of kindness changed history—forever.Welcome to My Good Three Podcast: Good Stories For A Better WeekClick here for a list of episodes, transcripts, and show notes. For all of our social media, find us @mygoodthreeContact the host: chris@mygoodthree.com

There’s nothing more frustrating than someone telling you to be more hopeful. It almost seems impossible, and even insulting, when you’re feeling down.

This episode takes you through his method and provides a little perspective on finding hope even when it seems impossible.Welcome to My Good Three Podcast: Good Stories For A Better WeekClick here for a list of episodes, transcripts, and show notes. For all of our social media, find us @mygoodthreeContact the host: chris@mygoodthree.com
