889: Heritage, Hate, and Everything In-between

Why is it that many Americans fight so vehemently to preserve a flag and monuments that, to many, represent one of the worst moments in American history? How can we find some sort of understanding in both their mindset for wanting to preserve it and the mindset to destroy it?

890: With Great Power (The Call to Action)

If you've ever wondered about what you can do to help fight racism, injustice, and inequality, the first step is to step into your power and listen to the result of what it can do to someone when not used properly.  This episode is a mix of a call to action and a cry for help.  I've lost the will to be a part of the fight and in this episode, I have an open and honest conversation with Kris and Mark and we put me, white privilege, and the entire BLM movement through the grinder to hopefully provide some insight as to how you can be a part of the solution.

FYFT Part 10 - Denia: The Set Up

To understand your life and where you're going, you need to know where you came from and the why that matters.  In this episode, we're joined by a Denia who literally found us by mistake and after listening and being interested in growth and personal development, she's brought some questions and ideas that we all put through the grinder to create content that we loved and hope you do too.

Making Sausage: Looters

When Facebook doesn't cut it, you make sausage.  No likes, no shares, no external comments.  Just people talking and trying to understand and listen to one another.

891: You know exactly what this episode's about.

America continues to disappoint me. This episode has the team joined by both a lawyer and a police officer and we discuss criminal justice reform, racism, police brutality, the black community, social media, privilege, what about-ism, and much more.  

892: Crazy Uncle Joe (You Aint Black)

Presidential candidate Joe Biden once again makes headlines with another gaffe during an interview on the Breakfast Club with Charlamagne tha God.  In this episode, we make and attempt to understand why it happened and where we go from here.

893: Karen

The Karen meme has become the symbol for the mid-30s to 40s upper-middle-class white women whom some believe have an affinity for speaking with store managers to voice their displeasure.  While it makes for funny meme humor, the team tries to unpack whether or not Karen is a label that may unconsciously be used to dissuade women from speaking up or speaking out against something they may not like or feel comfortable with.

894: 2.23 Miles

In this episode, the team tries to answer whether or not there may be a psychological or physiological malady that pushes some people towards the desire to hunt and kill. Is there something at a deeper level that can help us understand why things like that which happened to Ahmaud Arbery occur? Maybe it's not just about race and there's much more to it. 

Throwback Thursday : 919 - The Greatest Lie Ever Told

I don't believe that we were created equally and in this episode, we try to make that okay and bring acceptance to our differences especially when saying that some people may or may not be as good at certain things possibly because of genetics and how some humans had to adapt to or conquer their environments, which forced humanity itself to alter. 

895: 7 Questions
