Be The Good

Be The Good Media strives to elevate the GOOD—amplifying compassion-driven stories and encouraging the support of people and organizations focused on creating a lasting and positive impact. Christy McCaffrey is the owner, producer, and host of the podcast. She focuses on a theme of compassion, highlighting a diverse group of guests, each working in their own unique way to make a difference in their communities and in society.

Fritzi Horstman is the Founder and Executive Director of the Compassion Prison Project. She is a Grammy-award-winning producer for her work on “The Defiant Ones,” has been a producer and post-producer on dozens of television projects and documentaries, and has directed several films.

She believes it is urgent to bring humanity and compassion to those living behind bars; these acts will help transform our society. Fritzi joins Christy in discussing how her journey and experiences helped shape her newfound perspective on healing and forgiveness, and why it’s so important for all of us to tap into our compassionate side to build a better community for everyone around us.
