Allenmichael Boasten listened to the intro episode of this podcast and felt this message resonate with him. He feels like he is in the middle and in today’s political environment he knows being uninvolved or uninformed isn’t an option. He offered to come on the show to discuss race and his experiences growing up in Mobile, Alabama. He played college football, has lived all over the country and has a great perspective on life. While he knows there is a lot of progress we can make as a country he points out how far we have come and chooses to view the world from an optimistic perspective.

He says at the beginning, “One thing we lack when it comes to politics is empathy and you can’t have empathy without listening.” I hope you enjoy listening to this interview as we continue to have real conversations with the aim to move forward together.
