An open discussion between our panelists and It's Your Life Radio listeners on the following topics:

TOPIC #1: COVID CASES RISING AGAIN:
To prevent further spread of the Delta variant, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its mask guidance on Tuesday to recommend that fully vaccinated people wear masks indoors when in areas with "substantial" and "high" transmission of Covid-19, which includes nearly two-thirds of all US counties. Much of the country remains unvaccinated, despite incentive programs and urging from health experts. Only 49.2% of the US population is fully vaccinated, according to the CDC.

TOPIC #2: THE GREAT RACE DEBATE: 
According to a new Gallup Poll- For the second consecutive year, U.S. adults' positive ratings of relations between Black and White Americans are at their lowest point in more than two decades
of measurement. Currently, 42% of Americans say relations between the two groups are "very" or "somewhat" good, while 57% say they are "somewhat" or "very" bad.

TOPIC #3: Marijuana vs CBD Use in Olympic Athletes: Double Standard?
DEBATE OVER  OLYMPIC HOPEFUL Sha’Carri Richardson 30 DAY SUSPENSION after testing positive for marijuana.

Kenny has held various positions in finance, operations, and management. After 18 years of traditional employment, he stepped out as an entrepreneur venturing into consulting, construction, and transportation.

Joshua  has been a financial consultant and life insurance agent for almost 15 years. His passion is helping people towards achieving financial independence. He started Goldsmith Financial Corporation in 2012 and works as an independent consultant clearing through LPL Financial, the biggest independent broker/dealer in the nation.
