Good Faith Idea Exchange

In today's episode, I sat down with Tyler to talk about something I'd mostly left alone until now.  COVID-19.  The question is, where do we go from here?  This is not a discussion about the virus or the pandemic itself.  This is more a conversation concerning where things may take us based on what we have seen so far.

This episode is for everyone.  If you're a servicemember or vet, give this a listen.  If you're not, please listen too.  For this first episode of the new season, I got to sit down with Tyler C. and Marland C., both themselves veterans.  We're all just talking about Memorial Day, what it means to us, and what it means to America, as we share some stories, laughs and sentiment. I don...

For today's episode, I was honored to sit down with Dr. William Unger for a heavy interview about PTSD and similar trauma.  Dr. Unger works for the Providence VA Health Care System in the Trauma Recovery Service.  He has worked there for 32 years.  He is also a VA consultant and trainer for Cognitive Behavioral Conjoint Psychotherapy for PTSD and an Associate Clinical Professor at Brown Unive...

I got the opportunity to sit down with Rich Norris.  Rich is currently the Assistant Principal for 360 High School in Providence, RI.  This interview was extra special in so many ways.  From hearing about the hardships he's lived through and overcome, to his honest take on our education system, to the multitude of ways he is paying it forward to help our youths of today who need it the most....

For today's episode, I sat down with the Owner of Bonvoyage_Babes travel blog, Tatum Skipper.  Tatum has amassed an impressive social media presence in a rather short amount of time, with over 30,000 Instagram followers and counting.  She is using her growing influence to make a positive difference in people's lives through travel, focusing on helping people overcome their greatest fears...

For episode 5, I reached out across the pond to talk to Hannah Lemon.  Hannah is a graduate of Saint Andrews University and works for Edinburgh University in the field of wildlife biology in the U.K.  Our talk touched on areas from her current work in the field, to modern conservation efforts, to climate change.  This episode won't be very political in nature, but more based around science.

For episode 4, I had another sit down with Tyler.  Our last talk on the first episode still holds the most downloads for this podcast.  So, I thought we'd sit down again for a more up to date discussion.  We started off talking about the election, but the conversation quickly took on a life of its own.  If you enjoy raw, honest conversation without the aggression and rudeness, definitely give...

For episode 3, I sat down with Tyrone Smith, Director of Employment & Housing for Operation Standown.  They are a statewide agency that assists veterans in need of assistance, especially in the areas of housing and employment.   Operation Standown services Rhode Island, Southern Massachusetts and Eastern Connecticut.  However, if you are not in this area and need assistance, please reach out t...

For episode 2, I sat down with Tory Kern.  She manages a youth street outreach team at House of Hope, a community development agency.  Her focus is fighting homelessness in our communities and providing support to those currently experiencing homelessness or at risk of being homeless.  She specializes in youths between the ages of 13 and 24.  Tory can be reached via email: tory@thehouseofhopecdc.o...

Episode 1 For the first episode, I sat down with an old military friend for a raw, real conversation about heavy hitting issues, from race in America, to police brutality, to the two party system and more.  A simple conversation in good faith between two friends with different viewpoints.  (Note: This interview is from late November, but unfortunately is every bit as relevant now.)
