Kindness experiments at Aegis Living<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back on December 14, with holiday spirit in full swing, Clark joined influencer Jimmy Darts for an inspired grocery store trip. Darts is known on social media for posting videos of pranks and random acts of kindness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Covered by McKnight\u2019s Senior Living<\/a>, the duo entered the store with a drive to help others. Upon asking a randomly-selected couple for a $2 loan to buy milk, which they gave without hesitation, Clark and Darts responded by taking them on a three-cart shopping spree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a special act of kindness if we\u2019ve ever seen one, but the generosity didn\u2019t stop there. After paying for the couple\u2019s groceries and loading up their car, Clark took things one step further. He surprised them with $10,000 in cash \u2014 deeming it a reward for their initial kindness, and for being hardworking parents to five children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although it\u2019s a great story to read, there\u2019s nothing like watching the video. Check out Darts\u2019 post on TikTok<\/a>, which went viral in 48 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to McKnight\u2019s, the video is part of Aegis Living\u2019s kindness experiments on social media. The company created the initiative as part of its annual \u201cEmpowering People, Inspiring Consciousness\u201d conference. The conference includes a program called \u201cTransform a Life\u201d that focuses on bettering the lives of others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The videos can be found throughout Aegis Living\u2019s LinkedIn feed<\/a>. We hope you\u2019ll take the time to watch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
