Things I Think About

Its lonely at the top, especially if you are in law enforcement and politics are preventing you from doing your job. Should you find yourself in this situation, you might want to reach out to Eddie Campa and his firm - Leading Through Adversity. In this episode, I chat with Eddie Campa about his background in law enforcement, why he founded Leading Through Adversity and the types of clients he serves. Moreover, we discuss the "Defund the Police" movement and the usefulness of social workers in law enforcement. We also reflect on mental health hospitals and where they disappeared to. Tune in now so you can say, hey, "I didn't know that about mental health hospitals!"

Eric Hohol and I had a meeting of the minds today and wow, was it good. We both were ranting on a myriad of topics that could have resulted in a 3-hour podcast easily. We pondered what the left truly truly wants from black people. We looked at Nigerians in America and speculated why they were better off economically than the Blacks born in America. We took a look back at slaves in America who went on to become millionaires and what they might think of Blacks today. We discussed Eric's decision to vote for Trump and how it encouraged him to leave the left side for good. Ultimately, we boiled down the essence of leftist verses conservative worldviews and asked, are black people truly oppressed in America or simply, ungrateful. This episode will raise a lot of eyebrows. DO NOT miss it. Listen to it NOW!

ABOUT MY GUEST

Eric Hohol started FreemindsPodcast because he was able to see the manipulation of the media, while many cannot. This is his attempt at spreading media literacy, and skepticism for all mainstream media sources, while educating people about the Marxist machine that has taken hold of our institutions.

What do you do when "Woke" culture is forced up on you at work? One thing you might do is fight back like Stephanie Kaplan. She is the founder and voice behind Corporate Wokeplace, a website dedicated to fighting the encroaching Woke culture on the American workplace. In this episode, Jim Stroud and Stephanie Kaplan discuss lowering standards to achieve equity, skin color as a job qualifier and how companies who get woke ultimately go broke. Oh, yes, we went there. Tune in for a very though-provoking episode.

ABOUT MY GUEST 

Stephanie Kaplan has worked in Corporate Human Resources leadership for  over 25 years. Her experience is primarily in Fortune 100 companies,  such as Starbucks, Walgreens and Target. Over the course of her career, she noticed a steady increase in  Corporate “Wokeism.” Concepts such as Corporate Social Responsibility  started out with good intentions but then became tools of the social  justice warriors. Diversity training, that once had the goal to include  all voices, now has morphed into segregation and shaming of white  people. Employee Resource Groups, initially designed as an opportunity  for racial groups to share their culture with others, have now become  combative and discriminatory. Stephanie founded Corporate Wokeplace as a  way to fight back against the insanity in Corporate America.

Truly, truly, truly you cannot judge a book by its cover! I had a long and interesting conversation with the drag artist - Lady MAGA. I walked away thinking that I met a truly courageous person. It is challenging enough to come out as gay but, to complement that by also identifying as a Conservative? Wow. We talked at length about the societal and economic impact of his decision to leave the left, patriotism, big tech censorship and the attacks on the freedoms we take for granted in America. Such a positive person despite the tragedies in his life. #Impressed Lady MAGA is one strong soul. Tune in to hear what I mean.

He’s an award-winning  journalist with a background in mass communication and video production.  He’s President of Log Cabin Republicans Utah and is working to save his  state from a leftist takeover.
