A Festive First: Brent and Tyler Look Back on a Year of Good Things
Loading player...
It’s the first “Christmas Show” I have ever done! And it was flipping festive!
On this week’s Good Things with Brent Lindeque, I’m joined in the studio by someone who plays a huge role behind the scenes every single day, our incredible Editor, Tyler Leigh Vivier. If you read Good Things Guy regularly, you already know her work. This time, though, we swapped keyboards for microphones and sat down together to mark a milestone moment.
It’s our very first Christmas show in 11 years.
The conversation is festive, honest and full of heart. We chat about the silly season, the magic (and madness) of December, and what Christmas looks like when your job is to find good news every single day. From there, we take a proper look back at the year that was at Good Things Guy… the moments that moved us, surprised us and reminded us why this work matters so much. We also unpack some of our most-read stories of 2025, reflecting on what resonated most with our readers and listeners.
A quick heads-up for listeners: for about 10 seconds, we chat about Santa and one of our trendiest Santa-related articles of every year called “Here is The Most Magical Way to Explain Santa to Kids Without Them Feeling Lied To!”… so if you’ve got little ears nearby, you may want to skip from 2:50 to 3:00, and then jump straight back in.
What makes this episode special isn’t just that it’s festive. It’s that it captures something deeper… gratitude for the journey, pride in the team, and genuine excitement for what’s still to come. Sitting across from Tyler, reflecting on how far Good Things Guy has grown, felt grounding and uplifting all at once.
11 years in, we’re still showing up. Still telling stories that matter. Still choosing optimism. And as this Christmas episode reminds us, the good things don’t slow down in December, they shine even brighter!
