Saving What Matters: A Positive Story of Loyalty and Community

Paul’s Positive Podcast

Hosted by Amy Iverson

In this uplifting episode, Amy Iverson shares a positive human-interest story about care, creativity, and community through the return of Zombies, Run!. Rather than focusing on the app itself, Amy explores the people behind it and the many people it helped—turning exercise into an adventure and helping everyday users feel stronger, braver, and less alone.

Amy highlights creator Naomi Alderman’s choice to buy the app back instead of letting it fade away. She reflects on this as a deeply human act of stewardship: a reminder that in a world where so much feels temporary, some things are worth protecting. By investing her own time, money, and trust in a small team, Alderman preserved something that truly mattered to its community.

For Paul, this is a hopeful story about the quiet power of loyalty and the good that can come from simply refusing to let something meaningful disappear. It’s a warm and encouraging look at how positive change often comes not through grand gestures, but through thoughtful acts that help people keep flourishing.
