Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Upside with Jordan, a dose of good
news because it's a big world out there. Well, you
know what they say, honesty is the best policy. And
today a story out of Chandler, Arizona, where a teenage boy,
Cody Chalmers, did something that we hope most of us
would do. He found a lost wallet loaded with cash
along with various credit cards and a driver's license. This
fourteen year old did some digging tracking down the owner

(00:22):
using social media. Cody's mother was obviously proud of her son,
put the story on Facebook, saying this, I'm thrilled to
share a heartwarming story about my fourteen year old son
who demonstrated remarkable integrity this past weekend without any prompting
from me. She also happened to mention he's been working
hard to save for a new e bike. While someone
reading that post, a stranger, Adam Bailey, decided Cody deserves

(00:43):
something for being so honest, so he bought the boy
the e bike. As Cody says, quote, do the right
thing and you'll get good things back unquote. Honesty does
pay off, and that's the upside With Jordan. WZ Boston's
