Micah Brown Podcast

Our education system is outdated, and ineffective to prepare our children for the futures they're headed toward. So, what needs to change? Micah and Mike Yates have a conversation about the educational system, and ways it needs to change, if our children are to have the best future. The "Industrial School System" is outdated, and ineffective. Listen to how Mike thinks the future of education should look!

Micah has a conversation with Leander, TX Police Chief, Greg Minton. In this conversation, they discuss the current climate, but also try to communicate that police are men and women just like the rest of us. If anything, be frustrated at Chief Minton's Star Wars opinions! 

Micah and Barrett are two peas in a pod. They meet up once a week as friends, and now you as the listener get to join in on that experience... kind of. Micah still interviews Barrett, an award winning realtor, in his usual style, and Barrett shares an incredible story about his son Wyatt.

This is the second part of a chat with Alvin and Keivon about growing up black in America, and their perspective on the racial justice issues America is facing. I highly recommend listening to this episode, if you don't understand why people say "Black lives matter," why "All lives matter" can actually hurt black people, or that systemic racism exists. 

Alvin and Keivon share their stories and experiences about growing up black in America. Lately, conversations have dissolved into statistics, politics, and talking without listening. We're missing relationship. Relationships are what create change, not statistics alone. We must listen to others, and show compassion more. 

Listen in, as Alvin and Keivon share their story.

This episode is part one of a series.
