Ronda Paulson: Kids Should Never Sleep in Offices (Pt 1)

Robert Hill: Friends After 5pm (Pt 1)
Robert was the beneficiary of older black men who assigned him to a church, placed him in a job, bought him $2,200 worth of professional clothing, and mentored him. They challenged him to do the same for the next generation and he's doing just that through his initiative called Friends After 5, which hosts happy hours to fix the sad reality that not enough black and white Americans are friends after the work day is done. By doing so, Robert believes that we can grow the middle class of both.

Customer Reviews
Real and Relatable
Bill brings a sizable dose of reality to a society that wants to believe it takes governmental intervention to resolve issues people face daily. The truth is that normal folks can and do impact the world in extraordinary ways. These stories relate to our own lives and help us see that we are not alone and we CAN impact our world for good.
Stop talking over your guests!
I love the show. I love the idea of the show. However, I’m on episode 3 and the host is constantly talking over his guests and telling his own stories. Stop it!
