In this episode I skim the surface of some of the century old racist laws and rules that govern accruing wealth and securing futures for children and families. As referenced in the podcast please go purchase "The Color of Law" and educate yourself about the systemic racism that persists and really started the divide between whites and people of color.

On this episode I talk about the western worlds obsession with naming the generations and their impact on the world. Enjoy my special guest Jessica who works in elder care and has lived through the Millennial bashing and all the horrors and setbacks our generation had.

I might touch a nerve with this one. Lets look at what the modern BLM movement has achieved, some pending reforms and the actual progress being made by the people fighting for justice and an equitable society. Also lets look at what I am calling distractions, people used to having the spotlight not getting enough attention and using their platforms to either bow out or redirect.

In this weeks episode I talk about the relationship between our mental and physical health. The concept of the elephant and the rider and what our elephant is made up of. A lot of this comes from the book written by Johnathan Haidt called "The Righteous Mind". As always feedback is both welcomed and encouraged. Links below!

Happy JuneTeenth! My special guest Steph Carter, writer, MH Advocate and LGTBQ activist, discuss coming out, complex relationships and what its like being gay in 2020. I hope you enjoy the conversation and our giggly banter. I apologize for the audio quality, I only have one mic and we made the best out of the situation. As always, comments are welcome come find me at.

In the wake of protests and the call for reforms we find ourselves having the conversations among our friends and families. So follow me on a discussion about how to present and educate yourself on the topics and my experiences with these difficult conversations that do have consequences but are important.

This was the single most scary episode I have ever recorded. I am acknowledging my flaws raw and from the heart, I am making the argument and explaining it from the white perspective. I am condemning and condoning, I am risking my reputation because I believe in my heart of hearts that enough is enough. Not one more drop of black blood should be spilled by a corrupt and unfair system that has targeted and oppressed people based on their culture and skin. I am with you, because I am you.

I apologize for the delay and sad content. I recently suffered the loss of a brother in service. He was laid to rest on 5/28/20 as a result of the Covid 19 virus. If this podcast moved you in anyway please consider donating to your local firehouse, or visiting these links for ways you can make an impact on the fire service.

On my 12th podcast I joke about me, I ask you to examine your feelings on the ideas and arguments and we take a moment to breath, identify where we are and talk about what happens next. 

As always interact, comment and share your thoughts with me.
