We have gotten too comfortable with the Republic we have created over the last 240+ years and we seem to forget it wasn't a perfect road. Lots of trial by combat, division and strife but on the other side advancement and respected by both friend and foe. We ought not to lose that and calls like this is how we don't continue that journey. 

One of the reasons I started this was because I felt like we have no adults in  the room. We lacked leadership. I couldn’t quite point to our MLK or  George Washington. Yes it’s easy to idolize history but also we can see when something is off and I know I am not the only one who feels this way. 

The thing with 2020 is regardless of your race, gender, sexuality, religion, status, age. You were affected by COVID-19 either directly or indirectly.  And if we think about this as a society, how we are all in this together somehow. Maybe we can look past some of our differences and find strength in our shared pain. 

In this episode,  I discuss the outcome of the election and some ways we can move forward together. 

The problem with rushing through a justice goes beyond present politics and has potential to negatively impact American politics for years to come. It can undermine public trust and divide us further. 

In this episode, I talk about foreign policy. US foreign policy historically has being mixed with both strength and kindness and I talk about the value of that and why our current deviation from that approach may be detrimental to us. 

In this episode, I talk about how decision making in trouble times can be challenging. Unneeded criticism from the president and things to weigh when making decisions. 

In this episode. I discuss the lack of leadership in this trying time and make the case for good leadership.
