How about some good Nashville news right in your email?

Good morning, friends. This is long-time Tennessean storytelling columnist Brad Schmitt. Thanks so very much for subscribing and supporting the work my colleagues and I do.

I'm really pumped to be launching a new newsletter just for you, The Good News with Brad Schmitt.

Have you heard of doomscrolling? This is the opposite.

I'm going to tell you about heroes and happy stories, the kind of stories that inspire or, well, just make you smile.

Like the one about the Inglewood Elementary School kindergarten teacher who tackled an intruder (and broke her elbow) to stop the man from getting to her students.

Or the Brentwood foster dad who adopted five kids and then went to law school so he could fight for other foster kids.

Or the News 2 meteorologist who revealed she's hard of hearing — and now she wants to help other young professionals get hearing aids who might not be able to afford them.

Or how five Nashville LGBTQ chefs cooked a meal together to raise money for LGBTQ youth.

Or how a Vanderbilt athletics strength coach became a member of the Gaither Vocal Band.

You get the idea.

Hey, listen, I'd love for you to be a part of this. My newsletter is being offered exclusively to Tennessean subscribers. Please sign up for The Good News with Brad Schmitt to get a newsletter emailed to you every Friday. You can sign up here.

And please let me know about good people and good stuff happening in and around your neighborhood. Just send me an email at brad@tennessean.com.

I can't wait to hear from you, truly. Thanks for taking this ride with me! We can all use some good news. 😀
