Tom and Liz have a conversation with Thomas Jackson, the founder of the Compassion Project, a non-profit multi-production company in Greensboro, Florida that has the mission of promoting compassion for all living beings through documentaries and short videos.

Before becoming the founder and owner of the Compassion Project, Jackson studied and began his working career at Florida State University. He then goes on a quest that takes him across America to Morocco for the UN Climate Conference and to the Indian subcontinent to find out if compassion can include all human beings. His journey led to the creation of his documentary A Prayer For Compassion. His goal is to bring compassion and spread positivity and prayer all around the world.
