About
We Believe In People. We elevate good. We refuse to despair. We have hope. But hope takes work, and hope requires action. Why? Because action builds hope.
What happens when the world is turned on its head, things become a little too much to handle and a little too intense? Do we become bitter, disillusioned and angry?
Can we find hope?
In our global community, facing hardship and uncertainty, pandemic and war comes a new perspective; an optimism where we discover, if we look closely enough, kindness, generosity and support in and of people doing wonderful things for others.
'Believe In People' is a podcast for all the untold stories, kind gestures, beautiful feats, human connection, extraordinary experiences, new initiatives, and for all those doing ‘good’ in the world.
Join hosts, Kevin Tibbles & Amy Goldberg for a positive spark of humanity.
Believe In People. A podcast for people with hope.

Kevin Tibbles is an award-winning NBC correspondent. He appeared on all NBC News and MSNBC platforms, including NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt, TODAY and NBCNews.com.
Prior to joining the Chicago bureau, Tibbles was a foreign correspondent for NBC News based in London.
Tibbles’ foreign and domestic news experience includes reporting from war zones in Iraq, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Rwanda, Kosovo and beyond.
He was on the streets of London for the funeral of Princess Diana, on a rooftop in Baghdad during numerous coalition bombing runs; and in the flooded wards of New Orleans for hurricanes Katrina and Rita. He was stationed in Chicago’s Grant Park for the historic 2008 election of Barack Obama and brings viewers a unique and personable insight into world events as they affect everyday lives.

He was a part of NBC’s network team at the Olympic Games in Torino, Beijing, Vancouver, London and Sochi. His work from Iceland, Thailand, Panama, Dubai and beyond was featured on TODAY and he has covered a varied and colorful group of newsmakers that includes Nelson and Winnie Mandela, Tony Blair, David Petraeus, Mikhail Gorbachev; and the father of 911 hijacker Muhammad Atta, who was tracked down in Cairo in the immediate aftermath of the attack.
Tibbles created the series "Meeting America" on "Meet the Press,” and "America’s Correspondent" and "We The People" for Nightly News.
Before joining NBC News, Tibbles was a national correspondent for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) where his coverage experience included Germany following the fall of the Berlin Wall and the first Gulf War.
Tibbles recently retired from news after 42 years, so he could pursue other interests - spreading hope is one of them.
