Embarking on a journey of self-discovery and altruism, Gina Sachs captivates us with her Tiny Acts initiative, proving that small gestures can indeed move mountains. As a mother yearning to carve out her own identity, Gina's narrative is both relatable and inspiring, reminding us that it's possible to find oneself amidst the chaos of parenthood. She walks us through her adventure of intertwining this newfound purpose with the valuable lessons of kindness she bestows upon her children, who actively participate in the family venture by packing orders—a true family affair of the heart.
With the entrepreneurial spirit flowing through our conversation, Gina takes us behind the curtain of creating a business where benevolence is the core product. From the exhilaration of bringing a custom board game to life, to the sweet victory of launching children's decks and books, her story is imbued with creativity and perseverance. But it's not all smooth sailing; we get to laugh along with the hurdles and triumphs of establishing a brand identity that marries professionalism with an unapologetic, colorful authenticity.
As we wrap up, you'll find yourself charmed by the concept of the Tiny Acts company and its quest to sprinkle the world with kindness—one tiny act, and perhaps, one cuss word at a time. The joy of giving, the beauty of receiving compliments, and the sometimes awkward yet always fulfilling nature of kindness are all on full display. In addition to her kindness and humanity, Gina is offering listeners a 10% discount on all orders from her website. Just use the keyword Podcast at checkout. Plus, we're thrilled to unveil a new way for you to reach out and share your thoughts directly with us. So lean in, get ready to smile, and perhaps even be moved to perform your own act of kindness after tuning in to our heartfelt exchange with the extraordinary Gina Sachs.

Kindness, we see it all around us. We see it when someone pays for someone else's coffee or holds the door open for another person. We see it in the smallest of gestures, like a smile or a kind word. But it's different when we turn on the news or social media. Oftentimes what we hear about what outlets are pushing is the opposite of kind. Welcome to the Kindness Matters Podcast. Our goal is to give you a place to relax, to revel in stories of people who have received or given kindness, a place to inspire and motivate each and every one of us to practice kindness every day.
Speaker 2:

Speaker 2:
And now let's get into the show. Hey, hi, everybody, welcome to the show. I'm so glad you're here. I have got the coolest guest. She is a wife, a mother, a lover of good people, kind acts and F-bombs. Please, welcome to the show. I just love that so much. Gina Sachs Welcome, gina.
Speaker 3:
Hi, mike, thanks for having me. I'm so excited to be here today.
Speaker 2:
Oh, I'm so excited to have you. You know, there are those days when I sit around and I moan about how many listeners I get or what have you, and even though there's something inside my head that says all you have to do is reach one person with each episode and that's good enough, I'm like what do I not have that other successful podcasts have? And I'll go in and I'll listen to all these other podcasts and I think it's a lack of F-bombs is what's holding me back it could be.
Speaker 3:
yeah, is what's holding me back.
Speaker 2:
It could be. Yeah, you go in there like F on this and F on that. Can I even say it Probably Fuck this and fuck that.
Speaker 3:
I don't mind.
Speaker 2:
Well, I knew you wouldn't. It's so great to have you. So let's talk about you and Tiny Axe. And when I axe I should enunciate that more Because people may be thinking I'm thinking about tiny little axe that you throw.
Speaker 3:
Yes, and I've had people think tiny yaks or like kayaks, and I'm like, no, it's tiny acts. Oh, tiny acts of kindness. Yes.
Speaker 2:
Boy yeah, you really got to do your enunciation on that one, but yeah, okay, so take us back this. This started during the pandemic.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, the daydream started in 2017. I was a stay-at-home mom with three kiddos. Dream started in 2017. I was a stay-at-home mom with three kiddos, so they would have been like two, three and seven-ish and I just needed something to like mentally escape my day. I found myself staying up at late at night just for the quiet time and then wake up exhausted the next morning all over again. That daydream was sufficient enough for about three years and now, looking back on that, like why did I wait so long? But the pandemic really locked me in and made me realize I had to do something. That mental escape was no longer strong enough and I really needed to bring this into real life.
Speaker 2:
Oh sure. But now and you felt a certain oh sure and you felt a certain need to help out the family a little more Yep, I mean because being a mom, a stay-at-home mom.
Speaker 3:
I don't think there would be anybody who would disagree that that's enough work for most people, right, right, it was just finding that identity outside of wife and mom that I found important. My son was born first and I say he made me a mother, but then I had two girls and I always say they made me want to be a better woman. So I want them to just see me shrinking away in wife and mother, even though those are my most important titles. See me shrinking away in wife and mother. Even though those are my most important titles. I still wanted them to see me chase after something and do something of my own as well.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, because what a great example to set for your kids, right?
Speaker 3:
Yep, we have a lot of fun with it together.
Speaker 2:
Do the kids get involved?
Speaker 3:
Yep, yep, absolutely, Especially summer break starting to get started here in a couple weeks and they'll be helping me pack up my customer orders and get them in the mail and things like that as well.
Speaker 2:
Nice, screw your child labor laws. Yeah yeah, exactly. No, it's perfectly acceptable. So you were thinking about doing something and you hit on something and I think it's probably like it was a good time, because maybe we should say what it is they're card decks, right. Yes yes, yep, kindness card decks.
Speaker 3:
Yes, and that goes back to, like you said, being a mom and a wife are two very busy occupations, but you can always find time for kindness, and that's something that I always found myself in need of, and I always felt better if I was able to give to others, like when I took all three kids to the grocery store or whatever was going on. If somebody was kind to me or I was able to reflect kindness back out, I could just feel like I accomplished something more than the to-do to list that day.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, for sure. So you're like okay, I want to do something with kindness. And now card decks.
Speaker 3:
We're just going to drop all the curse words today Card decks we're just going to drop all the curse words today.
Speaker 2:
Card decks are kind of having a moment right now, aren't they?
Speaker 3:
Yeah, yeah, I just think it's fun. It makes it feel like a game. And then too, like I was saying, sharing those acts of kindness and you go through your day. It's easy for that feeling of kindness to wear off, but that card is something that's tangible in your pocket so you can hold onto that a little longer than the feeling Like someone can be nice to you in the grocery store and as soon as you get in the car, somebody cuts you off in traffic.
Speaker 2:
So it gets and all that glow is gone.
Speaker 3:
Yep, yep, it doesn't take a lot.
Speaker 2:
So what you have come up with and what you eventually came around to were decks of kindness cards. Yep, talk to me about the different cards. What are not the different? Because you've got what? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
Speaker 3:
I got five different themes. There's two variations of the compliment decks.
Speaker 2:
Okay, all right, but it started.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, it started with the four original decks, which are compliments keep it going free and easy and women kind yep. So okay, each deck has 53 different acts of kindness within that theme that you can pass on okay, so it really is like a deck of cards.
Speaker 2:
It's got 52 or 53 cards in it. It's so cool because you've got them labeled right. It's compliments. Did you just say it? You probably did.
Speaker 3:
Compliments are light blue and it's just 53 random compliments. Some are very deep, meaningful, and other ones are as simple as I like your glasses. Then free and easy is the green deck, and each action is completely free and easy, like putting away someone else's shopping cart or holding the door for someone. Keep it going is the dark blue one, and it's designed for you to do pass the card on and hopefully they keep that card going as well. And some of those acts do cost money, like pay for the person behind you or send dessert across the restaurant to someone. And then womankind is the light pink deck, and those are all acts of kindness just designed for women to share with themselves and with others.
Speaker 2:
Nice, Nice. How hard did you find it difficult to come up with 53 I struggled a little bit.
Speaker 3:
Um, some of all the ideas within each theme are. There's 53 individual ideas. There are some that repeat within the decks because they just they apply to so many different themes and can be shared in so many different ways. One of my favorite acts in the Keep it Going happened by accident. I was going through the review before I submitted the order and I found two acts that were very, very similar and of course I was devastated because I was so close to being done and then I went brain dead and couldn't come up with another act. And then it came up to me don't be so hard on yourself. And that's became my own personal favorite card. I have it on my mirror every morning and so many other people have said how important that card is to them as well. Just the reminder don't be so hard on yourself.
Speaker 2:
Which happened by You're being kind, being kind to yourself, right, yeah, sure.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, I think that oftentimes we think about how kind we can be to others and we forget to share that kindness with ourselves as well we do.
Speaker 2:
That's a very easy thing to forget. And then you okay, so you had these cards in your head.
Speaker 1:
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:
What was the next step then? It was Are there places out there that just make these cards?
Speaker 3:
I did a lot of searching. I would love to have found a company that printed them in the United States, but I was getting hung up on the gold lettering on my card because I wanted it to feel gold is sparkly and shiny and just catch your eye type of thing. So I went with the Build your Own Board game out of Chicago and they do all their printing in in China. But they were awesome to work with Um and I placed that order in November of 2020. So, uh, coming out of the heels of not even just yeah, pandemic by that point going into the holidays. And then I and I waited and I waited and I was like, oh my God, I totally screwed up. I can't believe I maxed out a credit card. What was I thinking? And they finally arrived in March of 2021. And they hit my website and that's where that all began.
Speaker 2:
Yep yep, and you built a website for this thing.
Speaker 3:
Yep, yep, I did all of that. I'm a one-woman show. I did that and I've learned so much and it's like so fun when I get hung up on something and think, oh, is this where I quit, is this where I give up. I Google it, I find the answer, I figure it out and I change it. So it's really fun to learn as I go as well.
Speaker 2:
That's so cool. So yeah, and I'm looking at the what are the loose cards?
Speaker 3:
So I open up a lot of card decks on my own and I share them, and then I have all these loose random cards and I thought that that would be a great way for people to kind of sample the decks if they're not sure which deck they want to go with, so they can just get a random assortment of the cards that I have and then kind of get a feel for which decks are their favorites and which one, like, they want to order in the future absolutely.
Speaker 2:
That's perfect. Um, and then you've even got a deck for kids, right?
Speaker 3:
it's funny because I started this like this is mine, you know, like uh, lord of the rings, where he protects the ring. It's my precious. Yes, I created this as an escape, a self-identity outside of wife and mother. And then it come right back around to being a mom. I found out my daughter was making her own kindness cards to share in her kindergarten class, and so we're like let's, let's actually make a kid's deck because it's so fun, so it has more of a kid, a Crayola type design, um thing like that. And then, uh, along with that, I wrote a children's book to explain how to share the kids kindness deck. That I've been reading in local elementaries and libraries and you know, just sharing, sharing all of that too. It's been a little bit of a transition, being a potty mouth mom and then popping into elementaries with my ladybug outfit and, you know, teaching kids how to be kind yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 2:
But you know, professionals like you and I, we can slip in and out of that as needed. We're yep, yep exactly down with, with launching an f-bomb one minute and then saying, no honey, yep, yep. So tell me about the kids' book. What's that about?
Speaker 3:
That was also inspired by my daughters. My 10-year-old Etta loves elephants, my 8-year-old Hazel loves hippos. So those are the main characters, ellie and Hip, and they go about their day sharing the kids' kindness cards. And then I snuck my son in and his friends. On the basketball page I have an incredible illustrator. She's a stay-at-home mom from Kansas City, missouri, and I said can you make 10 deer playing basketball and one needs to have a mullet? And if you can't, I totally understand.
Speaker 3:
And she nailed it it's too, that's so all the kids got into the book yep, yep, and, and every character is based off of either an act of kindness that, um, I was a part of, or I witnessed, or special people in our family, um, or a friend group. Uh, just those little inspirations, um, that's so cool, yep, yep, so cool.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, there's a. I was just looking over to help clean up a mess. Be the kind of kid who is kind to all kids, I love that. And and then you've. You've also apparently gone into outerwear. Oh, sweatshirts, oh, yep, I have some jeans as well. T-shirts, sweatshirts, yep, yep, I like that. One Cuss words and kindness.
Speaker 3:
Yep, it's a balance.
Speaker 2:
It's a balance. We're going to be right back with more of my conversation with Gina Sachs after this brief message from another great Deluxe Edition Network podcast.
Speaker 3:
Oh, I'm sorry, Did I break your concentration?
Speaker 1:
Everybody be cool, because this is season three of the Church of Tarantino podcast and we're about to get medieval on your ass. I'm your host, the Reverend Scott Kaye, and for our third season here at the church, we'll be taking an in-depth look at the film that not only changed cinema but made and Royale with shoes A part of the pop culture lexicon, practically overnight. I'm, of course, talking about Pulp Fiction as it turns 30. We should have shotguns for this kind of a deal. Along the way, we'll also be taking an investigative look at the psyche of the characters from the world of Pulp Fiction to see what makes them tick on our character study series.
Speaker 3:
Well, let's not start sucking each other's dicks quite yet.
Speaker 1:
And over on our Inglourious Blue Ball series. We'll be taking a deep dive into the numerous project announcements spewed from QT's mouth over the past 30 plus years to give you the level of blue balls these unrealized projects have left us with. I hid this uncomfortable hunk of metal up my ass two years, so grab yourself a big kahuna burger and a $5 shake and stop on down to the Church of Tarantino and become a member of the coolest fucking church around. God damn, jimmy, this some serious gourmet shit Now touching you three times a month.
Speaker 3:
I think it's important to me too and a long thing that took me a while to like. One of my hesitating facts is like um, can I actually be the face of kindness with this filthy mouth front and center? And then I realized like there's an audience for me and there are people that are looking for that and and you can lose it one minute but still be a really good hearted person and know that you can still do good in the world. And actually I think it might be more powerful, because whenever you have such a big range of emotions, you can do more with them. I just feel a little more fiery or something.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, oh, absolutely Sweary, kindness Yep.
Speaker 3:
And people keep pushing for a deck that none of my decks currently have any cuss words in it. They're all um no cuss words in my kindness cards, but I do have a group that are are rallying for a cuss word and kindness deck, so it's it might do that oh, they would just all be nice just.
Speaker 2:
I do like the t-shirt that says wake up, kiss ass, be kind repeat.
Speaker 3:
Kick ass, kick ass.
Speaker 2:
Isn't that what I said?
Speaker 3:
You said kiss.
Speaker 2:
Nuh-uh.
Speaker 3:
You did.
Speaker 2:
Oh, wow, okay, I was reading it too. I was reading it right on the website Kick ass.
Speaker 3:
Every once in a while. You do have to kiss ass, though, to get ahead, so that's fun.
Speaker 2:
I mean, you do what you do, right? Yeah, yeah, that's what you got to do. And now the name of the company. Oh, we already said it Tiny.
Speaker 3:
Axe, tiny Axe. It's fun to say TinyAxeco co.
Speaker 2:
actual website name you can get yep, yep.
Speaker 3:
I think it's fun too, because it just makes it tiny like it just re um, I can't even think of the word. It just, you know, goes over the tiny theme over and over again.
Speaker 2:
So yeah, yeah, well, because it started off tiny yep and you, yeah, pushing tiny acts of kindness.
Speaker 3:
Yep.
Speaker 2:
Or not so tiny acts.
Speaker 3:
Yep. Nice or big, it's however big you want to make them. Yep.
Speaker 2:
So talk to me. Have you ever had any feedback on the cards? Has anybody ever said, oh my God, this card, whatever.
Speaker 3:
Yeah. So it's funny Like I created them and sometimes I really struggle to share them myself. Sometimes it feels like a little icky, like I don't you these shoes I made. I'd be like, oh my gosh for me. So that's an internal battle I go back and forth with.
Speaker 3:
But I do have a couple of favorites. One was when I was in the grocery store and I have a card that says buy someone flowers and I was like, okay, I'm going to do this today. And I had like all this, I'm going to do this, I'm going to do this. And then I got there with my flowers. I'm like I can't do this. This is so weird. Like I don't want to be the weird, awkward person, but I turned around in line and there was a lady there that I had known my whole life. She was the receptionist at the dentist office. I went to with this as kid and she had her the card and I was like you can give these to your mom, which then the lady starts crying, and there's nothing like more panicky than making someone cry in public.
Speaker 2:
It's a good cry, oh for sure.
Speaker 3:
Yes, I've learned that it's okay to make people a good cry. And his mom she'd actually taken her grandson to the grocery store because his mom just needed some time to herself. She's like this couldn't be more perfect than today and honestly, I've realized it has nothing to do with me whenever I get all self-doubt-y in my head and it's so much more for the person who receives that and I have no control over how important that might be for them that day, I'm sure.
Speaker 3:
I try not to do that anymore. I just I try to be like it's okay if we both cry. We both cried, we hugged, it was great, but yeah, it's, I don't have.
Speaker 2:
I just. We tend to get into our heads a little bit when we try to do.
Speaker 3:
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2:
We tend to get into our heads a little bit when we do kind acts right.
Speaker 3:
So now I just try to look at myself as a vessel for that, like it has nothing to do with me. Yeah.
Speaker 2:
Oh, absolutely, yeah, yeah, I know, and the thing is I could probably do a whole episode on this about, because a lot of doing kind acts requires us to maybe make it awkward, mm-hmm, right, mm-hmm, if it's complimenting somebody on whatever their shoes, their glasses, what have you, mm-hmm, that has the potential to be really awkward.
Speaker 3:
Right, right. And then, too, in my womankind deck I actually have a card that says accept a compliment, without deflecting, because it's so hard for people to accept compliments as well. So if someone's like, hey, I love your dress, thank you Not, like, oh, this old thing, or it was got it on the clearance rack, or whatever, just accept it, and stuff like that too, and then our world just makes us I feel like, hesitate, or think why is this person being kind to me? Or? And it just just makes it. It can sometimes makes it difficult. So I try to think about you know, not that I'm a fairy godmother, but I just, you know, try to sprinkle kindness when I can. Yep, yep.
Speaker 2:
A fairy effing, godmother Yep.
Speaker 3:
Yep, yep. And then another really, really cool card. Um, we'll be sort of so many of my kindness happens at grocery stores. Um, my girls were, or my kids. We were sorting out cards. I'm like, which ones do you want to bring in? We try to pick a few and then try to find the perfect person to see that um to give it to in the store. And one of them was you have a great voice. I'm like that one's not going to work in the grocery store, like we'll save that one for another time.
Speaker 3:
And we were walking up and down the aisles and there was a woman leaned up against the freezer section and she was singing. And my daughter shot me a laser beam. Look, that was like I want a card, yes. So we sorted through really, really quick. I was able to get to the bottom of my stack and find that card. We circled back around and we gave that lady the card and she, you know, caught her off guard, thank you. But in the checkout line after we had finished, she came back to find us and said I need to let you know how important this card was for me. She had lost her son about four years before that and she said singing is what she would do to heal herself.
Speaker 2:
So of course we're crying in the checkout line again. Here we are crying in the checkout line again.
Speaker 3:
She was acknowledging that for her and she felt like her voice had been heard and she said she was going straight home and putting it in her wall. In between her she had framed pictures. This is my favorite. Uh, between her Elvis picture and her Tupac picture, uh went my card that said I love your voice. That's so awesome. I love that. Yes, and I couldn't like finding a lady singing in the grocery store like that. That was another one of those things that had nothing to do with me and was just perfect how it worked out yeah, that's so cool.
Speaker 2:
oh my gosh, that's kind of goose bumpy. Yeah, yeah, that's that's so cool. Um, so I'm doing it. I'm doing an event later this month, um, where and I was, I was thinking of doing something like that, and so I reached out to my, my facebook friends and I said you know, if somebody were to give you just a random walk up to you and give you a card, what would you like to see on it? This one guy I'm not related to him, but he's kind of like an uncle, yeah, and he lost his wife last year and he said you've got a lot of puppy left in you. Oh my gosh, and for somebody of my age, that would be a great card to get.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, yeah, and it is funny how different phases. I obviously designed the Womankind deck from a mother's point of view and I didn't realize how heavy the mom theme was in that deck, but I was like that's what I needed at the time too. So it is funny how I enter different phases and and figure out different kind acts of kindness too what do the kids say to you're in your mom era yes, yes, that's my yep.
Speaker 2:
Deep in it, I'm deep in that area, yes you will be for the rest of your life really, in some form or another. Yeah, that's so cool. I I just, I absolutely love this and you're bringing kindness out into the world and and promoting it, but you're still able to make a living off of that too, and that is so cool. Um, I'm gonna have there going to be a link to your website on in the show notes of the episode, so that'll all be there. You guys really need to take a look at this and really think about this, because these are so cool and I really do like that I created a coupon code for your listeners too, because I'm so excited about joining you today, so that coupon code is just podcast and they can get.
