I could not agree with you more Nancy Walter!! I just started watching his videos, what an exceptional human being! Simply amazing, very special! Thank you Steve for spreading all of the kindness you share...and by being you! I’m a FAN! God Bless you! 👍❤️
Steve Hartman: For years I've watched you travel across the country reporting on powerful stories of hard work, determination, hope and love. Thank you for the beautiful reporting, it has helped me tremendously. Meryl and your son are beautiful, thanks for sharing their little faces with the viewing audience.
Oh, Steve these are emotional stories! I love so much the work you do! You are a very special kind of soul a beautiful person, drawn to other beautiful and amazing people that inspire us. This 'class' about courage brought me tears of joy, especially the 89 year old determination to learn to read, and the courage to do it. I bawled my eyes out, because we need more courageous and beautiful people like you and those presented in this class. Thank you for all you do. You are an American hero to us. God bless you.
Your son has your same great eyes Mr. Hartman and I hope one day he continues your heartwarming stories which I never miss and watch many times. Happy Chanukah and Merry Christmas - and Festivus for the rest of us ♥
"Don't be afraid to be afraid". Think about how much better we would be as people if we lived by this motto. Great episode, Steve. And your kids are doing an amazing job. Thank you!
I can always count on Steve Hartman to bring some goodness in the world when we have so much negative news every single day. Steve you are the beacon of light in the darkness of negativity. God Bless
Steve this is the best show, EVER Ienjoy all the "feel goods". It's what we need to dig into & hear about, especially now. You & your kids have my utmost respect and love.
I didn't know my papa couldn't read until after he had passed. My grandma always read cards on his birthday, anniversary and Xmas. If I had known I would have taught him.
I have always loved this guy! He connects so well with people and his stories are always heartwarming and inspiring. And he is great with his kids. This could very easily be the next Mr. Rogers. Who wouldn't want Phil Hartman as a neighbor, after all. One more thing. The last story meant a lot to me. Ever since before I graduated from high school, I wanted to get a college degree. Hard to do with a 1.9 GPA upon graduation. At 40 years of age my wife went out on me behind my back. Nearly 15 years of marriage had been a valiant struggle for me with someone who criticized and belittled me (Don't ask me why we were married in the first place. This is already to long.). I divorced her. Once the dust settled and I got over the pain I was like a kid with a new quarter. What do you do with your life when you start over? You GO TO COLLEGE. I began with community college with high school level classes. Before long, with mostly A's and B's I was on the President's list. I remarried (After over 20 years I am very happy.). That and other circumstances compelled me to go online to pursue my Bachelor's with an accredited institution. I acquired a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. I was on the Dean's list with a GPA of between 3.5 and 4.0! I went on to pursue a Master's in professional counseling. I finished all of my classroom studies with a high GPA again, and was again on the Dean's list. My pursuit of a practicum (an unpaid internship) has been stalled by Corona. I have not done much with my Bachelor,s and my Master's is unfinished. But I have done something, for me, that is remarkable! Online study is hard work with its own challenges, but I overcame them and went from thinking I was stupid with a 1.9 GPA in high school (I had to raise an incomplete in Typing to an F to do that.) to a college 3.75. I am 66 and am so satisfied with what I have achieved and with what my college accomplishments say about me. I started late in life, I went outside my comfort zone, and I succeeded. I am so happy with that. If you actually read this far... WOW.
"if I couldn't handle not being good at something, how could I consider myself a successful person", this kid is going places because he's not afraid of hard work. His parents deserve recognition for fostering that kind of thinking.
As I was scrolling down reading the replies I was thinking exactly the same thing, this Guy reminds me of Mr. Rogers. Thank you Steve and your beautiful family
Excellent series. Your set is perfect for these life’s lessons. And your support staff couldn’t be more helpful. Thank you, Merrill (Vanna White), Emit and George for a job well-done.
What a beautiful episode! I loved all the stories featured in this episode but the last touched my heart because I love and enjoy reading! Great job, sir!
I never though id wanna watch something motivational till i saw thins and you guys inspire me to push myself and learn from my mistakes. Your kids are so lucky to have their dad in there life that treats and teaches them everything.
I have been watching your posts all morning - most of which I have seen already - at least once. You have the most wonderful job ever. What you do is inspiring. Makes me think about what I could be doing in my retirement to be more valuable to those around me. Thank you so very much!
This is an amazing piece! Thank you so much to everyone who put this together and made it happen. Everyone. It's two years old but still relevant and there are many things to think about here. Wonderful for this old grump to hear. We need to see other people trying. It got a little better after Covid. I think people are more grateful for things now, and they are kinder and more patient, but we still need proof that its worth it to be kind. In all the ways that you can be kind. And the proof for me that its worth it is seeing other people do these things. This is so great it should go viral.
I went to a 2 year college in my 50s and made the Dean's list and national honor society. Got associates degree, despite having to learn 5 now obsolete computer programs. It taught me you can do anything if you try!
My second class, I just found you @3:16 am. In 55& I’m enjoying these. I’m going to do my version of 10 thinks to be grateful for. My puyying 10 pebbles in lil zip lock nags that I’m going to paint lil hearts on. Then share these with strangers as I go about my days, with the explanation that you shared.
Thank god that kid really does get it. An American math major or even a primary english speaking math major looking to teach is in very short supply and high demand. Good for him and I hope that kid the best.
Get one of those balance or no pedal bikes. You learn balance , minimize falling. Be courageous and smart. P.S. In England there's a beer brand John Courage beer . In the 70's there were billboards all over saying " take Courage" in big letters. I was a tourist there and at first just thought it just English positive affirmation
I'm going to be 32yo soon and my dad is just as wise but jeeze. I wouldn't mind having Steve as uncle or something. One of the greatest humans ever. Mr Rogers territory
Steve your kids are so lucky to have you as a dad...
I could not agree with you more Nancy Walter!! I just started watching his videos, what an exceptional human being! Simply amazing, very special! Thank you Steve for spreading all of the kindness you share...and by being you! I’m a FAN! God Bless you! 👍❤️
Gerald is an inspiration!!! What a young man, and definitely a successful person 👏🏽 🙌
The BEST, MOST RESPECTFUL, POSITIVE THING ON TV. KEEP IT UP STEVE.
Steve Hartman: For years I've watched you travel across the country reporting on powerful stories of hard work, determination, hope and love. Thank you for the beautiful reporting, it has helped me tremendously.
Meryl and your son are beautiful, thanks for sharing their little faces with the viewing audience.
Steve Hartman, you're a national treasure that must be protected at all costs.

I'm 37 years old and I love this series. Always loved On The Road
This 76 yr old agrees
"Don't be afraid to be afraid". Think about how much better we would be as people if we lived by this motto. Great episode, Steve. And your kids are doing an amazing job. Thank you!
Meryl and her beautiful soul melts my heart every time 💕
She is breathtaking. She reminds me of my almost 7 year old granddaughter 💜. He’s done amazing raising these children
I'm 59 and I needed this. Thanks.
I'm 56 and I feel the same way.
I’m 30 and I also need it
I'm 18 and I really needed it too.
What a wonderful life lesson and role model of what every parent can be doing right now. No matter what you're doing at home, involve your kids
I can always count on Steve Hartman to bring some goodness in the world when we have so much negative news every single day. Steve you are the beacon of light in the darkness of negativity. God Bless
it's so much fun to see this Kindness101 series. Even an old man like me can learn something
Yes, for sure. I'm 73 and love watching this series. Ed Bray proves no one is too old to watch these stories.
Hey, I saw you at the Fillmore in '69.
Dear Steve - I have always loved your eyes - and now I see your son has them too. Such a handsome boy and sweet little lady. ♥
Steve Hartman is SO successful! Love him.
Gerald's quote was everything!!!! That did need to be stated again. Wow I love it!
Steve this is the best show, EVER Ienjoy all the "feel goods". It's what we need to dig into & hear about, especially now. You & your kids have my utmost respect and love.
I didn't know my papa couldn't read until after he had passed. My grandma always read cards on his birthday, anniversary and Xmas. If I had known I would have taught him.
OMGoodness.....the way Meryl looks at her father is beyond words. Gorgeous children, be very proud Steve and Mom Hartman! Job well done!

Steve Hartman your great, and you have a beautiful family.

Your son is doing a great job!!!
He needs to give his son more attention!
Thank you so much, Steve and family. You are never too old to try something new.
"if I couldn't handle not being good at something, how could I consider myself a successful person", this kid is going places because he's not afraid of hard work. His parents deserve recognition for fostering that kind of thinking.
Steve, the joy you give me is indescribable. Your storytelling lifts me up out of my daily depression. God bless you.
With those beautiful children you have all that matters in lfe. You are wealthy in the ways that endure.
Steve is such a great storyteller, and his kids are very smart!

May i suggest Dr Bill Vicars lessons? He has a channel on youtube and a website (lifeprint) and he's a great teacher
Precious
Your Daughter is brilliant ! Literally !
Trying to become a Beekeeper, I am in my 12th year and still learning and teaching beginners. It's a lot harder than people think.
I'd like to view a new episode of "On the Road" soon.
There was one last Friday.
Your daughter needs her own show!!
I went to a 2 year college in my 50s and made the Dean's list and national honor society. Got associates degree, despite having to learn 5 now obsolete computer programs. It taught me you can do anything if you try!
Gerald!!
I LOVE THAT! Witch one? All of them! Thank you
Love the series! Your tech stuff looks better than some of the late night hosts. Your daughter is amazing!
My second class, I just found you @3:16 am. In 55& I’m enjoying these. I’m going to do my version of 10 thinks to be grateful for. My puyying 10 pebbles in lil zip lock nags that I’m going to paint lil hearts on. Then share these with strangers as I go about my days, with the explanation that you shared.
I have a Furry Hedgehog, like the 1 "On the road program". My childhood nickname was Hedgy & still is in my family to this very day.
Ed was courageous 😍I was thinking out taking a break from school now I will continue
So beautiful!
what a Beautiful smart little girl Dad you must be very proud.
Now also a student @ Ventura College.
Meryl and emmet thank you 🙏
Thank god that kid really does get it. An American math major or even a primary english speaking math major looking to teach is in very short supply and high demand. Good for him and I hope that kid the best.
Taylor, please help us now!!
Get one of those balance or no pedal bikes. You learn balance , minimize falling. Be courageous and smart.
P.S.
In England there's a beer brand John Courage beer . In the 70's there were billboards all over saying " take Courage" in big letters.
I was a tourist there and at first just thought it just English positive affirmation
Meryl is so sweet!
CBS Evening News said, they know me through Arc.
I'm going to be 32yo soon and my dad is just as wise but jeeze. I wouldn't mind having Steve as uncle or something. One of the greatest humans ever. Mr Rogers territory
I don't know how to swim and this guy just motivated me to do better.
this was excellent
Love these videos. I have used the On the Road stories in my classroom. The students love these stories as much as I do. Thank you, Steve Hartman.
This 53 year old will be going back to college.
Good luck to you
I went back to college at 50 to get my second degree. You can do it!
Oh that's good good luck to you.
Guys like you makes me wanna go to college again and earn my 2nd degree 😅
Vera S.(leads Kindness 101 Project). She's my twin sister(cousin).
I teach nursing school. My oldest student this year is 65. The oldest student I've had was 68. It's never too late.
