In the final episode of 2018 I chat with my cousin, author, podcaster and financial literacy expert Prince Dykes about his children's book series on financial literacy. Prince and I talk about some of the basics around personal finance and what led to his growing financial literacy platform.  I also give my thoughts on the Kevin Hart outrage, activist groups and the Oscars.

In this episode I chat about Restorative Justice with Janice Jerome of The Restorative Justice Institute of Atlanta.  Janice and I discuss how Restorative Justice allows both victims and perpetrators to heal in a way that the punitive system of justice does not allow.
