Founder & CEO, Good Good Good
Branden Harvey is the founder and CEO of Good Good Good — an independent media company helping people feel more hopeful and do more good — and the creator and editor-in-chief of the Goodnewspaper, the monthly print publication filled with good news. He is the host of the podcast Sounds Good with Branden Harvey and has built an online community of more than one million world changers.
Branden is a storyteller focused on the good in the world, a two-time Shorty Award nominee, and a sought-after speaker and consultant. Before founding Good Good Good, he was trusted by brand clients — including Disney, Square, (RED), charity: water, UNICEF, and Southwest Airlines — to help them tell hopeful and meaningful stories. He was invited to the first-ever White House photography meetup and was hired to cover Pope Francis’ visit to the United States on behalf of The Vatican.
He has been featured by The New York Times, The Washington Post, Mashable, Men’s Health, and more. Branden lives in Portland, Oregon, where he spends his free time on his outrigger canoe or his bicycle.
As told by MashableBranden Harvey’s uplifting message of hope and dignity is giving the Internet a meaningful dose of medicine. And maybe, down the road, the world will look back on the stories Harvey told and count him among the first in a long line of digital activists.

Off the Clock
When he isn’t working, Branden trains and competes in dragon boat paddling and outrigger canoe, and logs a lot of miles on his bike. (Receipts on Strava.)
He is also passionate, perhaps unreasonably, about new and limited-edition candy — recommendations always welcome.
