Today's episode is brought to you by another one of my favorite podcasts, 'This Land.' 'This Land' is produced by Crooked Media and hosted by Rebecca Nagle - a Cherokee writer, advocate, and language learner. Rebecca uses her keen investigative skills to dig deep into specific court cases and their myriad of implications for Indian Country. Season 1 was a cracker and Season 2 dropped in August 2021. This most recent season explores how a custody case over a Native child has far-ranging implications for the sanctity of the Indian Child Welfare Act, tribal sovereignty, and civil rights. The show is a fabulous mix of history and culture with a sprinkling of mystery and legal theory - what a combo! Find 'This Land' on any podcaster service and tell all your friends!

For Dopesick episode 3, The Good Doctors discuss the pain industrial complex, the philosophy that everything can be cured with a simple pill, and the so-far, mostly unaddressed issue of non-prescribed oxy addicts.

Do you automatically say 'yes' to everything people ask you to do without making sure you can, you know, actually do it? Are you constantly overcommitted and overwhelmed and under-rested? Me too, my friend, and it's been a constant practice over the last few years to change those behaviors. And I'll tell ya, I wish I'd had Jennifer Bassman's book Stop Being a Doormat when I started. It's clear, to the point, and is a great hybrid of a workbook and book, that allows for processing and committing to action steps. You can grab it at Amazon - that's Stop Being a Doormat by Jennifer Bassman.

Dopesick episode two shows how "breakthrough pain" was a concept invented not by doctors or researchers but by Purdue itself as a way to keep marketing their drug as successful even when it wasn't working.

The most common question we get asked is "what is empathy?" Our answer? It's the consistent decision to understand yourself and others so that we can all have fuller and richer human experiences. It's a simple statement with a lot of complicated implications. We love complications, to be honest, because the more complicated something is, it's usually more real. In this light, we've designed a 2-day virtual masterclass to dig into some of what it looks like to do the work of empathy. We'll have discussions about inclusivity, how everyone has trauma and none of it is comparable, how to set boundaries and why the Puritans were and are the worst, and more. It's us and some special guests for this interactive experience. The next round is February 24 and 25, 2022 and you don't want to miss it. Head to bit.ly/ARmasterclass to sign up. See you there!

The Good Doctors dive into Netflix's documentary "Cheer," in particular, the fifth episode of the somewhat unexpected season two.

Well, we've made it to the season finale! This episode is really the culmination of several themes from the season. They tip their cap at some of Season 2's big plot points, and the Good Doctors end this season where they began, with considerable sympathy for Elizabeth Windsor and Regina.

We live in such a fractured society, that only seems to be getting more so. Research shows that the way people change their minds about ideas and the way they shift their worldview to include others is through stories and relationships - not shame or statistics. In service to that idea, we run a series on YouTube called 'Welcome to My World'. It's an interview show where I get to talk to fascinating folks from all walks of life twice a week about something in their lives the rest of us should know more about. I've chatted about Japanese gaming culture, the universal law of attraction, what it means to be a ghostwriter, and more. Find the series on our youtube channel. I'll see you there.

Did you know that there are only three countries in the world that weren't colonized by a European entity at some point in their history? We didn't either, but it got us thinking about how important the legacy of colonization must be on all the others and we launched our Colonizer's World Tour in 2021 to investigate further. Each week, we look at a different country, the legacy of colonization within it, and what that place can teach the rest of us about empathy and inclusivity.
