Conversations in Courage

Ok but seriously- what is a good person? Who is a good person? What are the qualities and actions needed in order to justify the use of the word "good"?
Spoiler alert: we don't have the answers, but we had a great time talking it out! 
We hope you enjoy this post-election, thought-provoking topic! 

Cheers, 
M+A

Our beloved companion, Ali, has passed away. Her end of life care made us reflect on our capacity for compassion and patience- both for others and ourselves. 
What are our triggers? How are we caring for ourselves? How do we hold space for others? 
In the midst of an important election cycle, what's our responsibility to be in community with people who have beliefs that are fundamentally opposed to our own?

Thank you for your listenership and support of the show!

Join us this week as we have a conversation about why social media sometimes feels so yucky despite the opportunity to be connected, learn, and grow. 

We also talk about why it's so damn hard to make friends as you get older. What's up with that? 

We hope you enjoy!

Until next time—be well, be courageous.

In this episode, Ash and Mark discuss the origins and mission of the The Courage Campaign, as well as some of the current challenges in education in terms of test scores, racial segregation, harmful CRT rhetoric, and book bans. With election season upon us and Covid-19 not yet in the rearview, the mental and physical health of our young people is immensely important! As always, we ask that you join us in fighting for change however you can. 

Enjoy! 
Mark & Ash

The gears are turning…This week Ash & Mark delve into a real-time working/thinking session and explore some possibilities for rewiring our brains for true connection. If we’re really to be anti-racist, how do we fight against implicit bias?

Happy Listening! 
Mark & Ash

Hi everyone! This week, we need a break. Our pup, Ali, isn't doing great and we need to rally ourselves for her and make sure she gets the best care possible. 

Send us good vibes :) and we'll see you next week.

Ever get a piece of feedback from your boss or partner and freak the f*ck out? Same. 

The importance of feedback is something that every healthy relationship needs but one of the most difficult things to master.  In this episode, Mark and Ashley discuss what has worked for them and how success is dictated much more by improv than formula.  

Enjoy!

What do student loan debt, Stevie Wonder's version of the Happy Birthday Song, and social media have in common?  They all demonstrate the power of our voices to provoke, inspire and influence change.  Join Ashley and Mark this week as they connect the dots to how all things are not created equal.
