Good Tidings Podcast S3E26: Paul Austin

Posted on October 3, 2022

 

Welcome to the Good Tidings Podcast with host Larry Harper, Founder of the Good Tidings Foundation. This podcast is all about highlighting the good in people and what individuals are doing to make an impact in this world for the benefit of others, while aiming to inspire a community of givers! On today’s episode, Larry interviews Play Marin Founder Paul Austin.

Larry was first introduced to Paul by basketball legend and local resident Jennifer Azzi. In this episode, Paul describes in detail the history of Marin City, it’s origin and the challenges it still faces. Paul saw a need in his hometown and took action by providing a wide range of sporting activities to the children of this community, most of which live in public housing. The Good Tidings Foundation, along with their partner the Golden State Warriors, refurbished the 75-year-old Marin City gym and teen room earlier this year. Paul goes on to discuss his long-range goals and shares a unique example how racism is an ongoing fight for the local black residents.
