    Forgiving Judas, Cancelling Cancel Culture | From the Future with Love Podcast

    "We've all felt the shame of poor choices. We've all been Judas at one point. Now imagine starting again." - From the Future With Love Welcome back to Zero to Won. When I started this show, the goal was to interview guests and talk about the road to success, and we'll get back to that. But right now, we've been building, producing more shows, stabilizing the business with my executive team over the past six months, and pushing the company into its next phase. That's been my focus. But this show, it's still my passion. For the first time, I have a space to speak on the shows I've helped bring to life over the past six years. In this episode, we revisit a powerful early conversation from From the Future With Love, where a message from the future challenges the path we're on today. At a time when cancel culture was at its peak, this conversation asks a deeper question: what happens when we remove forgiveness from the human experience? It's a reflection on growth, accountability, and the truth that we are all flawed, and that redemption isn't just important, it's necessary. This episode marks a pivotal moment in my journey as a producer and storyteller, and a reminder that no matter how far we fall, we all deserve the chance to begin again.

Do these famous people need to be checked? Yes. Do they deserve consequences for their actions? Absolutely. But what about when a law isn’t broken? What if our sensibilities have been violated? Is that deserving of being canceled? When people break laws, famous or not, we must find a way to bring about justice. They must be held accountable. What comes after, though? What if we’re creating a whole new problem? What if we’re creating a world devoid of forgiveness and redemption? What if cancel culture is cancelling a vital part of our humanity? Our capacity to love and heal and restore one another into community. Join us on our latest future based conversation with fellow time traveler Dr. Mateo Sandoval as he gives us insight into creating a world where cancel culture is no more. About the Show From The Future With Love is hosted by executive coach Johan Martinez-Khalilian. Each episode uses future-based language and coaching principles to help listeners create their future from their future.
