We are living in some unique times. Times when things we thought were done with are coming back to haunt us all. We went from a global pandemic over Covid-19 to protests and riots over police brutality and racial in-equality. Things have boiled over and as tempers rise we are having to process where we stand in all of this. It's taking a lot of reflection on ourselves, our families, our friends an...

Today, I had no plans to do an podcast. But, not only are we dealing with a pandemic and Covid-19 but we are now once again dealing with Police Brutality and Racial Tension.

Everyone plays a role in our lives. Some are for the good and some are for the bad. But ultimately, everyone has a roll. It’s up to us what we use the lessons for. Our past can be a crutch. One we lean on or pull out conveniently when things get hard for us in life. That can be detrimental to our present as well as our future. It’s up to us to identify it and make sure we put that crutch away and...

Ep #1 - The Introduction 07.04.2020 1:57:58

This is the in depth introduction to myself, my life and how this podcast came to be. It’s long, but it had to be...there’s a lot to say so you fully understand the magnitude of what’s going here.
