Who holds influence in America?

How do institutions shape our everyday lives?

And what happens when we stop to examine who leads them?

In this thought-provoking episode of Cold World w/ DVJ & Michelle, Michelle introduces the "Nine Areas of Activity," a framework developed by Neely Fuller Jr. that explores how different parts of society—including economics, education, entertainment, labor, law, politics, religion, family, and national defense—influence our daily lives.

Together, DVJ and Michelle discuss leadership, representation, ownership, and opportunity while sharing their personal perspectives and encouraging listeners to think critically about the systems that shape our communities. Rather than telling you what to believe, this episode invites you to explore ideas, ask questions, and consider different viewpoints through respectful conversation.
