Ep# 09 Racism

One word  - Racism. It's something that most likely everyone on the planet has at least heard about if not been affected by. It's controversial, illogical, and dividing. Like a cancer it can grow if left unchecked and unchallenged.  In this weeks episode i give you my thoughts on this topic and share a couple of personal stories from my own life on how racism affected me. I also give you food for thought on a thread that unites all of us.  As always, thank you for listening, supporting, and sharing it is appreciated.  "Man Against Man" lyrics by Buddy Greene used for educational purposes.   background music - 'Chill Escape (IG Version 60s)' by Lesfm https://pixabay.com/music/beats-chill-escape-ig-version-60s-9650/

Ep# 07 - Police Behavior and Accountability - Part 1

There are few professions that have been the cause of as much controversy, public outrage, and societal change as that of a Police Officer.  It's obvious that it's not an easy profession by any means and requires a certain individual with certain innate qualities to perform this profession successfully. Since this is such a large topic it is broken up in two parts. In part one of this weeks episode i address this profession and discuss what it means to be in Law Enforcement, what is expected, and also share a true personal story of how i was treated by a certain Police Officer one night.    As always, thanks for listening, supporting, and sharing, it is greatly appreciated! background music - 'Chill Escape (IG Version 60s)' by Lesfm https://pixabay.com/music/beats-chill-escape-ig-version-60s-9650/

It's a new year and that generally ushers in for many what we all know as a 'New Years Resolution'. A resolve to start down a new path. For some people that means cutting some things from their lives or inserting some new things into their lives. Whichever it is they both need one thing to be successful - motivation. In this weeks episode i go over this spark called motivation.   As always, thanks for listening, supporting, and sharing, it is greatly appreciated! background music - 'Chill Escape (IG Version 60s)' by Lesfm https://pixabay.com/music/beats-chill-escape-ig-version-60s-9650/
