We introduced Amber MacArthur (a.k.a. Amber Mac) when she first joined Daily Challenge a few weeks back. And here she is today challenging you to, “Spend five minutes learning about the reality facing child soldiers & share this link: http://www.helpchildsoldiers.com.”
This challenge helps remind and inform us about the atrocities happening in the war-torn parts of the world. Many of our challenges on Daily Challenge focus on the little things we can do every day to make a difference by acting in our own little world. But as a whole and with a tool like the Internet, we have power to affect the entire globe.
Take Amber Mac’s challenge and not only will it bring awareness, it also allows you to take action in several different ways. Choose your action and help make the world a better place!
If you caught the hit movie, The Secret, you may recognize today’s challenger! Once homeless himself, Dr. Joe Vitale is spokesman and living proof of the power of The Law of Attraction. He is challenging you to, “Do something for a homeless person today: www.operationyes.com.”
Dr. Vitale is author of several best-selling marketing books and is considered to be one of the five top marketing specialists in the world today. A few interesting and lesser known facts about today’s challenger:
…the world’s first hypnotic writer, Joe is also an ordained minister, a certified metaphysical practitioner, a certified hypnotherapist, and a certified Chi Kung healer. He also holds a doctorate degree in Metaphysical Science.
“Bene agendo nunquam defessus.” (Never weary of doing good.)
Wow, Joe! Not only is your resume extremely impressive, this Latin quote you use is the epitome for Daily Challenge. No wonder you signed up! You are an inspiration to Do Gooders around the world. Thank you for joining our burgeoning online social network.
This is a late-breaking story covered exclusively on the Do Gooder Daily: Jack Johnson snagged his popular song, “Better Together,” from none other than Daily Challenge’s creative director, Verne Ho! Please do not doubt the validity of this claim, here’s the proof:
Just kidding! Imitation is the greatest form of flattery, isn’t it? And obviously Mr. Johnson has impressed Verne. Actually, we all love Jack Johnson here at Daily Challenge. His music lifts our spirits and keeps our mojo’s going even after we reach exhaustion.
So thank you for creating beautiful music and sharing it, Jack Johnson! And Verne, you really need to bring your guitar to work…
Do you hear that? It’s the sound of Do Gooders around the world uniting to Do One Good, Daily! Every week, dozens of socially conscious people have been joining Daily Challenge. Welcome. Some of you have signed up because a friend sent you (thank you for spreading the word, Do Gooders!), while others joined after hearing about Daily Challenge on the radio.
Well, for all you Do Gooders who missed our President, Darius Bashar, speaking to several radio show hosts about Daily Challenge, here they are for your audio pleasure:

We’re very excited to announce that Daily Challenge was featured on the homepage of www.csrwire.com. That was yesterday, Monday January 19, so if you click on the link today, you’ll find their new `pick’ is the new President of the United States of America, Barack Obama. Good thing we took a screen shot to prove it!
The Corporate Social Responsibility Newswire is “the leading source of corporate social responsibility and sustainability news, reports and information.” They are on our side, taking an interest in making the world a better place in their own way, through communicating how companies and agencies are doing good.
They define CSR as: “the integration of business operations and values, whereby the interests of all stakeholders including investors, customers, employees, the community and the environment are reflected in the company’s policies and actions.”
Daily Challenge is extremely proud to be a CSRwire.com pick of the day - especially when succeeded by President Obama! What an honour!
Isn’t great when you hear celebrities do good? Maybe it’s because everyone on Daily Challenge can relate to a desire to make the world a better place. That’s why we’re happy to announce 5 new celebrity members to the Daily Challenge community! Please meet:
Known for their special blend of rock, piano and soulful music, The Midway State is an up-and-coming Toronto band who wants to play to the beat of the Do Gooding drum. Lucky us, we get four for the price of one! Nathan Ferraro (lead vocalist & piano), Daenen Bramberger (drums), Michael Wise (guitar), and Mike Kirsh (bass) have all joined Daily Challenge as The Midway State.
They’ve toured all over Canada and the U.S., opening for acts such as Avril Lavigne, Theory of a Deadman, MIKA, 54-40, Shiny Toy Guns, Evanescence, Rocco DeLuca, Collective Soul and Lifehouse. Among the positive music and concert reviews, one critic observed that The Midway State puts so much of themselves into each creation, their songs sound “anthemic in nature”.
To get to know these new Do Gooders better, check out their their Daily Challenge profile for links to videos, music, bios, events and news.
Recently voted Canada’s “Most Influential Woman in Social Media,” we are very pleased to welcome television and netcasting personality, Amber Mac!

It’s been a little over a month since the dev team has reported on any new releases, but in reality we’ve been rolling out a handful of small changes over the course of the last 30 days (we’re ninjas like that). Have you noticed the newly-designed profile pages? Comment count on challenges? Smoother comment-posting?
Today, we’re adding to that list a handful of exciting updates that we think will change the way you interact with the site. Introducing Most Active Challenges and Open Profiles!
Most Active ChallengesAfter analyzing usage patterns, feedback and community preferences, we are introducing a new way to organize challenges in the community. The brand new Most Active tab uses a custom-crafted algorithm to display the most active challenges at a specific moment in time. We’ve defined a challenge’s activeness as a factor of user interaction as well as time. This is all in an effort to find the most natural and relevant way to let you see the challenges you’d most likely be interested in.
Keep an eye on the Most Active tab in the coming days and let us know what you think!
