Samuel Coggin-first creative winner #KindnessIsCoolatTimesSquare-Mar.8,2024

How did you come up with the idea of breaking barriers and what's the process of turning it into a film? What's your inspiration of making this film? During the process, is there any obstacle? You are the big man behind it. What does winning the Kindness Creativity Award and $10,000 prize mean to you personally? I'm basically making a business where I interview people that are over the age of 50. For the camera equipment that I'm going to be buying, I'm going to be using that a lot for the business that I'm making. Seeing your son making this success at this young age, what makes you feel as a father? He'll get on YouTube and learn all these kinds of skills. It's really interesting. He's using it to tell other people's stories. He's buying new equipment so he can share other people's life stories with the world. That's fantastic. I already know your answer, but I'm still going to ask you. What do you plan to use this experience to inspire other young people to spread the kindness? To other young people. I'll probably make some more videos on it and tell everybody about it. I'll definitely keep using Ganjing World and be putting a lot more videos on there. What do you think about the idea of spreading kindness? I think the world right now definitely needs that. I think it's very good that Ganjing World is doing that. I think it's going to be very impactful for everybody in the future. Anything you want to add? We hear a lot about negative things. It's really cool to watch him do something that's really impactful for the world. I'm watching my son do it, which is really neat. It's wonderful for my grandson to be part of such a wonderful thing. We have a lot of things to overcome, and kindness is a really wonderful way to do that. It's fun for us as a family to support him and be with him. We all live in the same town, so we saw him working on the video and all of that. He's very much a part of it. So it's a good chance for your big family. Absolutely. It's a family rejoicing for sure. What's your name? Melinda. Thank you.
