Throughout my entire media career, I have covered just about every type of story you can possibly think of. Except sports. No sports here, sorry. I also did stand-up comedy for about 9 years before I turned my comedy stylings into digital content. And for well over a decade, I have been on an on-air reporter, contributor and commenter across various media networks and platforms. Sometimes people like what I have to say and sometimes they don't. But, when you are someone who doesn't take yourself or life too seriously, it's easy to laugh at every turn.
Everyone wants to be heard but, no one is listening to each other these days. I think we all need to take a beat, step out of our own echo chambers and meet at funny. Because even if we don't share the same opinion, we can share a laugh. And maybe, just maybe, we can find our way back to a civilized discourse.
