Today, Life is Good is a $100 million positive lifestyle brand sold by over 2,000 retailers across the US and Canada. Early on, Bert and John were inspired by stories of people, mainly children, facing great adversity. These stories illustrated that optimism is most powerful in the darkest of times and inspired the creation of a fully integrated business model dedicated to helping kids in need. Life is Good donates at least 10% of its annual net profits to the Life is Good Kids Foundation to positively impact over 120,000 kids daily facing poverty, violence, and illness. Bert has been awarded honorary doctorates from several universities for entrepreneurship, business innovation and philanthropy.

They credit their mother as the first powerful optimist in their lives, and the inspiration for Life is Good.
