Wild Card with Rachel Martin · Melinda French Gates · 5 Feb 2026 podcast

When you see people helping one another and you see people saying, you know what, I can make sure this kid gets on this path, or I'm going to tutor that kid, or I'm going to show up and serve in the food line on a cold day, right?

It just reminds you that our humanity, there's so much hope in the world.

There's so much goodness.

And so a lot of times, you know, I have to get off my screen as we all do these days.

And I need to go out and see hope in the world.

And that really, really lifts me up and helps me.

Totally.

And we all have it.

We have time.

We have resources.

We have skills.

All of those things.

Think about tutoring a kid an hour.

You spend an hour a week or a couple hours a month, you can change a kid's life, help their self-esteem, right?

I mean, there are a million ways to help.

So I always tell people, start in your backyard, right?

Find something local that you want to do or that you believe in.

But that's where I find hope.

And you are hopeful right now?

Very.
