Hey everybody, I just want to let you know that this is a very important episode. With the climate the way it is, there is no way Adriana and I would want to talk about anything else right now. There is a struggle that has been going on for over four hundred years in this country, and is really brought to the forefront right now. We don't have to agree politically to agree that human rights matter. On the show today, we have Rhodes Pierre. He has been good friends with Adriana for 20 years. And I have known him from parties that Adriana has thrown over the years, as well as her wedding, which Rhodes officiated. Among many things he does, as you will hear, Rhodes is a stand-up comic. So, I had originally wanted to have him on to talk about the comedy world during this Coronavirus. Then everything literally blew up with the murder of George Floyd. We do touch on the comedy a bit here. But, the main focus is Rhodes' experiences as a Black man. The best thing we can do right now is listen. So, leave your opinions and judgments at the door, and listen to what Rhodes has to say. And don't worry, it's not all serious..cuz you know... Adriana...and if you know Rhodes...well, Rhodes. And one last thing...I will donate $2 for every download of this episode from now until next Friday, June 19 to Showing Up For Racial Justice and to the Providence NAACP. It will be a $200 max. So please download and share.

Just one more note, about midway through, there are some audio difficulties for a very short time that I could not edit out. It may be around 20 minutes in, and doesn't last very long. Alright, now, sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

Interesting books mentioned in the podcast

Welcome to a new episode of Journey of the Rhode Runner! This week, Adriana and Paul introduce personal trainer Orlando Lugo to the show. The gang discusses some ways to stay positive in these Corona days. Once again, the Wim Hof method of meditation is discussed, as well as the book Breaking The Habit of Being Yourself: How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One by Dr. Joe Dispenza. And Paul gives a shout out once again to Deena Kastor's book, Let Your Mind Run: A Memoir of Thinking My Way to Victory, which he cannot recommend highly enough. We also discuss gratitude, and Paul reads some gratitude messages from friends and listeners of the show. If you'd like to share something you're grateful for, please feel free to email [email protected].

This is a very fun conversation, so please enjoy!
