The Positive Echo
Make wiser decisions a little more often. Weekly essays from the author of Wisdomize, and a free Know Thyself exercise to start you off. Gary Coulton and Carl Munson will discuss what it takes to leave a "Positive Echo" wherever we go. Gary's late father Harry asked him shortly before he died, "Gary, who do you want to come to your funeral and what was it you did for them that made them want to come?" This is not about being nice to everyone. It is about giving people something they can grasp and make a better life with. Maybe a conversation or something done on their behalf. We will investigate legacy not only one after we have died but whenever we leave a phone call, a meeting, a relationship, a job, career or we retire. Other people may know when we do something or it may be invisible but still hit the mark, like leaving money for someone's coffee. We will interview people who have left their Positive Echo, asking them why they do it and what they wanted from it. We invite listeners

How active is The Positive Echo each week?
Its public identity has been observed, but its score stays hidden until three independent installations confirm the same complete UTC day. It currently has 1 of the three required signals.
How is the ranking computed?
Each full UTC day, Subshack installations that are members of a group report privacy-safe totals: messages, active participants, replies and help requests. A day counts only when three independent installations report it. The weekly score is the mean of those qualified days over the last seven, and groups are ranked by that score.
