A weekly show for listeners to hear stories and conversations that allow us to explore subtle events and interesting social interactions too often ignored. These stories are meant to arouse the emotions of listeners towards self-improvement and consider how our behaviors impact others. There have been many moments in my life where I have wanted to share interesting stories that can be used by others to improve their own lives. With 22 years of educating youth and adults, I would like to share topics with you that will push against social norms and shift your mindset to consider alternative views. Sometimes, the best advice can be collected from the stories of others.

Monogamy and Technology
Before the pandemic, our attachment to our personal technology has continued to grow at a consistent rate. We are all aware of our addiction to our cell phones, computers, television, and SMART devices in and around our homes. Unknowingly, this is changing the dynamics for how we will co-exist in the physical form. Intimacy and physical connection will no longer be measured by our biology but by the frequency of interaction with artificial intelligence.

Have previous generations sacrificed their happiness to have children and build a nest egg to retire with their significant other?

Words of truth
Great insight by guest speaker. The jewels
of wisdom shared could revolutionize how we consciously communicate with our children. How they listen, receive and respond to this information are the building blocks to the loving, strong, WOKE young people of color we need to rule the world.
Insightful! Relatable! Great Listen!
There is a lot I can relate to after listening to Workplace Culture. Mental health, authentic work relationships (or the lack of) and dominant norms are factors that can influence a work environment. Great topic and content!
Great content
I think the show has great content, discussing topics that many don’t want to address. Just finishing up the “Man Son and Baby Boys” episode. Society places great pressure on gender roles, specifically boys, that often times compromise relationships when those demands cannot be met. This is a topic that I believe should be discussed in every household.
