In a world overflowing with pessimism, cynicism, and negativity, what might happen if we chose something different? What might change if we instead stepped into life with hope, optimism, faith?

I get to see what that looks like almost every day through the life of my daughter, Grace.

She lives with a powerful posture toward every aspect of life: Yes.

Let me explain.

Masami Sato is the Founder and CEO of B1G1 (Buy1Give1), a global giving movement that has helped thousands of businesses turn everyday transactions into acts of generosity. A two-time TEDx speaker and best-selling author, Masami has helped inspire more than 394 million acts of kindness worldwide.

Today, Masami shares how a lonely childhood led her to travel the world with little money and even fewer words, how witnessing both poverty and generosity reshaped her understanding of happiness, and how holding her newborn daughter sparked the realization that none of us are too small to make a difference. She explains the simple but powerful idea behind B1G1: what if everyday actions, even something as small as buying a cup of coffee, could change someone else's life?

My friends, you'll leave this conversation inspired by the power of small acts, reminded that generosity isn't reserved for the wealthy or powerful, and encouraged to start making a difference today rather than waiting for someday.

Ten years ago this week, ON FIRE was released.

When the book first went out into the world, I wasn't expecting bestseller lists, translations into a dozen languages, or a feature film. My hope was far simpler: to honor the people who saved my life.

In sharing their stories, my hope was simple: to remind readers that they, too, could be part of someone else's miracle.

Because what made these heroes remarkable wasn't supernatural power. It was their decision to use their lives to elevate someone else's.

A superpower available to all of us.

My hope was that readers would recognize the heroes in their own story—and then choose to become one in someone else's.

And yet, something remarkable happened. Let me explain.
