Serial Optimist was founded January 1st, 2010, with one goal: to be on the cutting edge of happiness. For five years we did this through interviews with the best comedians, artists, writers, and musicians. Our content was focused on all things comedy, art, and pop culture. Always anti-snark, pro smiles.

Over the last few years SO has been lightly tended to, some great interviews and features for sure, but really just this beautiful tree blowing in the wind. During this time I’ve focused on working out how SO can have a stronger impact, and not only provide smiles but provide a community for the things we care so deeply about: mental health, animals, environment.

I believe this can be accomplished by proving thoughtful and creative content that will engage people on multiple levels. SO will continue to provide the best conversations, with a focus on mental health. We will provide content that is focused on helping us all become better activists, better at bringing mental health talk to the mainstream, better at just trying to be better.

We do this through collaboration with like-minded companies. By working with and supporting non-profit organizations. By being active in our community and hopefully, getting you jazzed to be active in yours.

Trying to make the world just a tiny bit better each day might sound cliche, but I hope it’s a cliche we all still strive towards. If SO can make one person smile each day, give one person the strength to decide today is the day they will seek help for depression, make one person believe to really believe in their dreams, make another person decide today is the day they register to vote, that to us, is changing the world. That’s what we hope to do.

Come hang, let’s make kindnesses contagious,
