 Jon Stoll and colin cole rap with Dr. Freeman Hrabowski III, president of the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) and one of Time's 100 Most Influential People in 2012. 

Aayenda Asmatey-Stoll, age 7, asks Dr. Freeman Hrabowski to reflect back to when he was 12 years-old and inspired by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in more ways than one.  He also shares about the power and the paradox of self, being a participant in Moderna's Covid-19 vaccine trial, Math as a metaphor for life, and the preparation required of UMBC to pull off the greatest Cinderella story in NCAA history during March Madness.

This is career and spiritual education.  Remixed.

In this clip from Soul Force Ones, co-hosts Jon Stoll and Colin Cole talk with politician, Oregon State Senator Sara Gelser about reaching across the aisle and the Thanksgiving dinner table to talk and work with people we disagree with.  She shares about the paradox of leading and listening and the seemingly paradoxical decision for a disability advocate to close the Oregon School for the Blind.  Senator Gelser, named one of Time Magazine’s “Person of the Year” Silence Breakers, explains what VP Kamala Harris in the White House means for our country and Jon''s children.   She shares about relationships, politicking  and policy making on a professional level, and opens up to share about her faith, her connections to Quakers and what gets her through the pandemic.

Track 1 is set to the music of:
Pressure by Little Simz feat. Little Dragon
My Vote Will Count - YelloPain ft. Sevyn Streeter
