From Acts to Eats: The Power of Kindness and “Something Good” with Ricky Smith

Most known for "Random Acts of Kindness Everywhere," or R.A.K.E. this summer Ricky Smith launched his latest feel-good venture: Something Good Social Kitchen--a casual walkup food stand in Playhouse Square Plaza, which includes collaborators like Chef Michael Symon and exclusively features Cleveland-based providers.

R.A.K.E.’s mission is simple: to support the community in a positive way. They aim to enrich lives, encourage kindness, and promote the act of “paying it forward.” And just like R.A.K.E., Ricky Smith is bringing the same altruistic vibe to Something Good Social Kitchen: For every meal sold, R.A.K.E. donates one meal to people in need.

Join us as City Club's Ariana Smith sits down with Ricky Smith on entrepreneurship and what it really means to do "something good."
