Welcome back to the PCHATP podcast. In our last episode, we talked about Building Equitable Communities with Serenity Wright and how to foster greatness and humanize your work. This time, we’ll be exploring emotions and aspects of life that can destroy our greatness, dehumanize others as well as ourselves, and paths we can choose to make a difference. Along this journalistic journey, we have the honor of welcoming back a distinguished guest, Dr. W. David Hager. Dr. Hager is not only an accomplished physician but also a prolific author and advocate for change. With over 40 medical journal publications, 25 textbook chapters, and seven books to his name, appearances on CNN, WSNBC, National Public Radio, ABC Morning Show, CNN News, 20/20, Nightline with Ted Koppel, and 60 Minutes with Leslie Stahl, Dr. Hager's expertise is widely recognized. Today, we explore a deeply personal aspect of Dr. Hager's life…his grandchild's close call during at mass shooting at The Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee that happened. This traumatic event has tested Dr. Hager's resilience, and we will discuss his journey of facing rage, anger, and healing in its aftermath. As a returning guest, Dr. Hager brings his wealth of knowledge, empathy, and personal insight to help us understand the complex emotions that arise in the wake of such horrific incidents. We hope that this episode will provide wisdom, solace, and guidance to those grappling with their own anger and/or trauma.

This episode we tackle some tough and provocative questions regarding diversity, trying to make a difference, and the mental empowerment necessary with a pioneer in the equine industry, Lisa Lourie.

This episode I continue my discussion with Dr. Hager. We touch on some hot topics that hold relevance in the business world. One of the biggest, is changing your perspective to see opportunity instead annoyance and facing the fight or flight during important conversations.

Today we are talking about walking the talk but first - I have a question for you. Are you ready to take a walk down the two-way street of racism? It’s going to get real. What type of real depends on you. But I promise you - this 2 part podcast, is full of lived experiences that are thought-provoking where nuggets of wisdom will be dropped and you will have opportunities for new perspectives. That is thanks to my guest Dr. W David Hager.

Knowing how to communicate when it comes to hot topics like racism and ethnicity is challenging. Recent news involving Whoopie Goldberg, co-host of the View, has given us an opportunity to unpack perceptions and perspectives. I'm joined by guest Liza Goldenberg to explore Whoopies comments.
