Husband and wife team of Jeff and Callie Dauler’s podcast The Upside has as its motto “living in gratitude, finding the positive in every experience, and encouraging others to do the same.” Dauler is a former Atlanta radio host.
This month, the couple heard there were foster kids in need so they partnered with Purposity — an app designed to connect people with the individual needs of those nearby — to create an Upside team to ensure the kids had a merry Christmas. The community of Upsiders collectively bought five gifts each for over 200 foster kids in the Atlanta area… in under eight minutes!
“Callie and I knew that this community that has rallied around the mission of The Upside is responsive to taking care of each other — even total strangers,” said Jeff Dauler. “We had no doubt they could meet the needs of the kids, but never in a million years did we think it would be done in under eight minutes! We were blown away by the generosity.”
“The Upside is a beautiful example of how people can leverage technology for good,” said Purposity founder, Blake Canterbury. “They are inspiring other groups of people, including companies, churches, influencers, and even families.”
The Upside podcast is a daily talk show covering pop culture, current events, and real-life ups-and-downs that is centered on finding the upside in every situation. The show launched on August 8, 2019, and in less than 24 hours landed on Apple Podcast’s top 10 shows. The podcast is the cornerstone to the Upside movement.
