What if success wasn’t measured in net worth, but in kindness?

In this episode of Humankindness at Work, host Jennifer Clark sits down with Howard Pearl, CEO of Charitable Adult Rides and Services (CARS) — one of the largest vehicle donation organizations in North America. Howard has helped redistribute over $800 million to nearly 11,000 nonprofits, all while building a workplace culture grounded in gratitude, purpose, and service.

In this conversation, you’ll hear:

✨ How gratitude transformed the culture at CARS

🚗 Why your donated car might become a family’s lifeline

💛 What it really means to lead by serving others

“Who gets the most out of a gift? The giver or the receiver? I maintain it’s the person who’s given the gift.” — Howard Pearl
