Leo Tolstoy once said, “The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity.” In this episode of The Daily Morningcast, we explore how compassion is more than a feeling—it’s the foundation of a meaningful life.

From the quiet wisdom of Buddhism and Stoicism to Samwise Gamgee’s loyalty in The Lord of the Rings, we see how compassion transforms both individuals and communities. And we spotlight Project Angel Food, a nonprofit in Los Angeles delivering free, nourishing meals to people too ill to cook for themselves—an everyday act of love made tangible.

Join Alex Hill as we reflect on how to shift from recognition to service, and why the deepest meaning of life isn’t what we achieve, but what we give.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
