Yinz Are Good shares the *good* news going on out there and celebrates the good people who are making it happen...the people who are lifting others up, who are taking care of their neighbors, the people who are saying, “What can I do today to make the world a better place?”.

Coming up in this episode are two esteemed and inspiring leaders who have each made helping, guiding and showing compassion for others their life’s work. And they are honoring and celebrating like-minded folks via the Pittsburgh Circle of Courage Awards and in a new book: Pittsburgh Circle of Courage: Lessons in Resilience.

Longtime listeners will remember one of the guests, Russell L. Bynum, from Episode 20 when he joined Tressa to talk about FLM Haiti. Today, you’ll hear about Russell’s other good works, including founding the Circle of Courage Awards, which honor individuals in the Pittsburgh region who demonstrate faith and courage while serving their community. Our other guest, Dr. John Stanko, is a Circle of Courage Award recipient, Founder of PurposeQuest, and editor of Pittsburgh Circle of Courage: Lessons in Resilience.

Pittsburgh Circle of Courage: Lessons in Resilience features interviews with Charlie Batch, De'netta Benjamin-Miller, Lateresa Blackwell, Esther L. Bush, Russell and Kathy Bynum, Jim Dittman, Ervin Dyer, Evan Frazier, Dean Gartland, Debra Germany, Jerrel Gilliam, Turahn Jenkins, Cornell Jones, Sarah Lee-Faulkner, Christine Luffey, Clarence McAllister, Chris Moore, Dr. Mitch Nickols, Bishop Leon Pamphile, and John and Jennifer Zebo.
