John Sweeney

I’m John M Sweeney, from Ireland. I co-founded Drop Dead Generous with the wonderful Tom Cledwyn. I care about people, and I believe small acts of generosity, done with heart, can change lives. Drop Dead Generous was inspired by Chris Anderson’s book on infectious generosity, and it’s my way of helping more people believe they can do something that matters. I had the honour of being written about by Chris in his book and got to do a podcast with him that has been one of the most special experiences of my life. Theres lots more so if you’d like to know let’s have coffee and you can tell me about the work that you do too!

I’m passionate about generosity that hits hard, spreads fast, and makes people feel something real.

Kindness isn’t soft. It’s disruptive, necessary, and the gateway to infectious generosity.
