Good news is hard to come by. And with so many negative messages about masculinity, it\u2019s important to focus on the positive and shine a light on the guys with the confidence to make a difference.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019re starting the Good on You Initiative.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Partnering with Tank Sinatra from TanksGoodNews<\/a>, we\u2019re celebrating and honoring the guys who go above and beyond to make the world a little bit better with a custom-made navy jacket and honorary “Good on you” lapel pin. More importantly, we\u2019re telling their story in hopes of inspiring others to lend a helping hand any way they can.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In the first edition of the Good on You Initiative, we meet Rodney Smith Jr., the founder of the nonprofit Raising Men Lawn Care Service<\/a>, which helps young men give back to their communities by mowing lawns or doing yard work\u2014free of charge\u2014for veterans, the elderly, the disabled and single mothers.

Smith wanted to establish a program that inspires young men to learn and understand their value in society. While founded in Alabama, the organization now has a presence in almost all 50 states.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
