    Be More Kansas City 15 - Tiffany Fletcher, Reiki Master, Medium, Owner - InnerChi

    Be More Kansas City 15 - Tiffany Fletcher, Reiki Master, Medium, Owner - InnerChi

    Tiffany blew my mind when she sent a message to my loved one's during the episode. As someone who is on the fence in his spiritual beliefs Tiffany brought a calming perspective to my doubts, and made me feel okay to believe. Maybe fate brought us together, I talked to her randomly strolling along Loose Park. She has battled traumas and bullying on her journey of self-acceptance, while being a conduit for other's loved ones. What a confusing and frightening journey that must be to partake in this western civilization, but she shows how strong she is in embracing her spirituality and abilities. She speaks on the afterlife, different realms of existence, and what exactly is reiki? I challenged her on the concept of karma, because honestly I'm not sure I believe in karma. If you are curious about spirituality please give this a listen, you will not regret it. Support Tiffany by booking a reiki session with her through her link tree @ https://linktr.ee/InnerChiReiki. :)

    Please consider supporting Be More Ventures by sharing this podcast on Facebook, and Instagram or go to BeMoreVentures.org and buy a BMV.Tee or BMKC Hoodie. They're both amazing quality and they will quickly become a favorite in your wardrobe. :)

    Be More Kansas City 14 - Nathaniel Bozarth, Data Analyst

    Be More Kansas City 14 - Nathaniel Bozarth, Data Analyst

    Nathaniel Bozarth zoomed into the BMV Studio with Alex Gonzalez to talk about his former anthropology background and his current endeavor being studying bias in algorithms and data analytics. Nathaniel shed some light on the systemically racist practice of redlining that got its origins in Kansas City! Nathaniel wonders and expounds upon if algorithmic ads divide us a people, and if algorithms can be fair inherently. Nathaniel answers if he believes algorithms are the defining problem of humanity in today's world. We finish with Nathaniels best solution to the problem as of today, and the answer might surprise you. It's very simple.
