About this listen

What if one small act of kindness could change everything? The Ripple Effect is a heartfelt new interview series that explores the surprising ways compassion, resilience, and service reverberate through people’s lives. Each week, Jenna Kim Jones sits down with guests who’ve turned ordinary moments into extraordinary impact.Because when we go out of our way to extend compassion and kindness–even to people who might not be our friends–it inspires others to do the same.

With humor, warmth, and a deep sense of curiosity, Jenna uncovers how these stories—of barbers changing more than just their clients’ haircut; of the secret life of leftover hotel soap; of vending machines that dispense just the help someone needs—remind us of something universal: goodness has a way of spreading. The Ripple Effect is more than a podcast. It’s a reminder that YOU can start a ripple that changes everything.

  • Veterans, Chainsaws and… Joy?
    Nov 25 2025

    What happens when life truly falls apart—trees down, homes flooded, whole neighborhoods wiped out? In this episode of The Ripple Effect, Jenna Kim Jones meets the people who run toward the chaos: Team Rubicon. VP of Operations Jeff Byard pulls back the curtain on how this veteran-led volunteer force mobilizes after hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, and floods. Then volunteer leader Jen Nieder shares what really happens when the “gray shirts” roll in—mucking out homes, clearing debris, rebuilding roofs, and somehow finding laughter in the mud. It turns out that even in disaster zones, kindness shows up wearing a headlamp—and the ripples are enormous.
