Truth to Power

Okay... so the title of this episode may throw you off. It will all make sense in the end. Sometimes we just have to trust that the one leading the way knows what they are doing.

We look at Distractions and Noise. Football Season is here. Is it a pleasant distraction from the noise? Are there life lessons present within the game itself? This is a special episode. We hope to capture the connection that a city can have with sports and how the connection can offer more than stress relief. Does some part of us want to be the Bully?

What is the way in which we experience the idea of falling in love? What is our perception of meeting "The One?" Did we even arrive at the idea of falling for someone because we do, or is it because we see it so often in films and television that we think this is the way we are supposed to? On the Truth to Power podcast Kyrios G and Ace Cannon discussed our favorite love stories in film. Top 5 and...

On the Truth to Power podcast this week Kyrios G and Ace discuss the resistance. As the Great Reset reshapes the world, as one catastrophic event after another breaks out around the world, as the oceans begin to boil. Will those that wake up to the world as it is resist? Or will we seek comfort? Pleasure? The world is changing daily... don't blink. 

In this episode of Truth to Power Ace Cannon and I discuss the possibility of facing a New World Order and how propaganda is leading the way. There is something hiding under the bed.

What are the laws of Humanity? Does being part of a Tribe lead to having relationships that have emotional depth? The polarization that exists in our political landscape appears to be leading us as Americans to becoming a divided society. Is a Unified nation possible for the United States?

You may be uncomfortable with this topic. I was uncomfortable having this conversation. Some topics we take on with the Truth to Power podcast will lose followers. I hope this isn't the case.

I don't know if I am particularly qualified to take on the topic of Willi...

Are we free? Are we ruled? What value would you place on a high school diploma? $7.25? Are minimum wage lives lifelong suicide? Ace and I try to get on the same page with this one.

Do we believe better is possible or are we comfortable enoug...

I believe education holds a solution to every problem we face in the world today. But do we have a curriculum that works?

Dangerous curves ahead!
