FLAME with Brad Hook

Kindness for Success in Work, Life and Marketing — Dark Joseph Ravine

Dark Joseph Ravine · Founder, Kindness for Success8 April 202439 min

Joseph Levy Cohen — better known online as Dark Joseph Ravine — has made kindness his life's mission and his business model. The founder of Kindness for Success, a Guinness World Record holder and an award-winning children's author, he joins Brad to talk about promoting positivity in a corner of the internet that usually rewards the opposite.

Joseph built his platform on a contrarian bet: that kindness and positivity can carry a brand further than controversy. As a social media influencer he starts his own trends rather than chasing others', runs giveaways to give back to his audience, and holds a Guinness World Record — for the longest line of arcade tickets — earned in the service of making people smile.

The conversation ranges across what kindness looks like as a working strategy in work, life and marketing: staying your unique, authentic self online, why generosity builds a community that outrage can't, and how Joseph's award-winning children's book, Watch Out! It's Nolan, extends the same mission to the next generation.
