In his new book, Transcend Fear: A Blueprint for Mindful Leadership in Public Health, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, the Florida Surgeon General serving under Governor Ron Desantis explains how states can make better public health decisions in the future, recommending that health officials obtain training in decision analysis and expand their consciousness of how fear can shape perspectives and create dangerous outcomes—particularly during a crisis.  We discuss the response to the pandemic, midterm elections, the decision to block hormone therapy for minors in Florida, and vaccination for young people.

Teddy Fikre is an independent candidate for congress running in Virginia's 8th congressional district. Teddy and I discuss his political journey, race and identity politics, corporate paternalism, fatherhood, and why he's running for congress.  After working his way out of homelessness and poverty, Teddy is determined to speak for the voiceless and stand up for the marginalized and disenfranchised poor, working and middle-class. Teddy realizes that progress in America cannot happen unless we get beyond the toxic “us vs them” politics that has polarized our country.

Daniel Kovalik is an American human rights, labor rights lawyer and peace activist. He teaches International Human Rights at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law. Kovalik is the Associate General Counsel of the United Steelworkers union. His Book "Cancel This Book" exposes the cancel culture phenomenon that is sweeping the country, and shines the spotlight on the suppression of open and candid debate.   Cancel This Book offers a unique perspective from Dan Kovalik, a progressive author who supports the ongoing movements for racial and gender equality and justice, but who is concerned about the prevalence of “cancelling” people, and especially of people who are well-intentioned and who are themselves allied with these movements.
