Danley and Friends

Kels and I talk about the first time I tried to hang out with her, and ask each other some interesting questions from the game We're Not Really Strangers.

My youngest brother and I have epic conversations on a regular basis. He's a super smart dude and I find myself admiring his character more and more the older we get. 

In this episode we discuss the challenges associated with growing up, life's complexity, what we think God and the universe is, and how our values have evolved as time goes on.

I love this dude and I know you will too. 

My name is Jordan Mitchell I am a musician, artist, and activist here in Columbus, Ohio. I identify as a Socialist with no real proclivity toward any specific subsect of Socialism though I do find myself leaning more Libertarian/Anarchist than Authoritarian. While I find sympathy and solidarity in certain Communist causes I do not consider myself a Communist or a Marxist. My radicalization is rooted in racial and social justice directly inspired by American socialists like Dr. Martin Luther King, Angela Davis, Afeni Shakur, Angela Davis, Eugene Debs, Murray Bookchin and Bernard Sanders. I would really like to just kick some ideas back and forth, address some common misconceptions people have with the left and give your viewers some perspective as to what "Antifa" means and how someone who would be considered radical left views the world and this nation we live in.

Open, well-intentioned feedback and advice is something hard to find. Usually there is a motive. Except with Kierra. Conversations with her lack anxiety around judgment, and allow for free exchange. In this convo we exchange some gems we are learning along the way on this wild ride called Life.

There is a lot going on in the world, and to understand it we have to step outside of our echo chambers. In this episode, that is exactly what I do. I wanted to hear different perspectives on the events at The Capitol on Jan 6. I wanted to hear from friends who I don't align with neatly politically, and gather their perspectives. We discuss The Capitol, Antifa, Covid, conspiracies, Big Tech, censorship, and more in this packed conversation. We don't always agree, but coming to the table is key in the search for truth and Co-existence.

“Who is Kierra Williams?”, In her own words…”

I am love and because I am love, everything I create is with love. I know this may seem like an unusual way to start a bio, as most would start with their title or accolades...but that would not be an authentic way for me to begin mine. Love is who I am, and it is also what I l do. Whether I am integrating D&I philosophies and principles into every aspect of a company’s operating strategy, creating core Talent Management and Organizational Development systems that fuel organizations, creating leadership programs that challenge leaders to lead with love, or creating a piece of art that sparks meaningful conversation; empowering others, breaking barriers, moving and gently shaking the world around me through practicing love and understanding isn’t just something I do; it is my gift and calling in life. I value and celebrate the core elements of human connection and what that human connection can achieve. My humanistic “heart and mind” approach is what enables and drives my success as an artist, business partner, leader and friend. I have a unique perspective, sitting at multiple intersections of diversity that have allowed me to build trusting and meaningful connections with multiple individuals, leaders, communities and organizations. These connections have resulted in programs, processes and relationships built on love, trust and understanding that in turn creates lasting change, shifts perspectives and creates space for more love and innovation. Sure, I create art, develop leaders and build solutions, I do those things...but they are not who I am. I am love and because I am love, everything I create is created with love…”
