From Dirt We Grow

This week I have invited a college professor from UMBC who specializes in history, political science, and American studies. Conor joins me for a conversation about the effects current policies have had on our higher education institutions. We take a look at everything from the transgender community, to the ICE situation, to the canceling of programs that violate our rights; and our factual history. How are students, professors, and...

What if I told you the biggest threat to those in power isn’t a foreign adversary, a rogue politician, or even a broken system — it’s us. United.

In this episode, we dig deeper into the concept of unity — the one thing powerful enough to truly shake the foundations of our divided nation. We explore why politicians and media...

In this episode I invite another guest from beyond our borders to provide yet another view from the outside looking in. This time Sri from India joins me. He is a former journalist and very much versed in global affairs. The effects of the political decisions being made are not just felt by those of us closest to them, the whole world is feeling them. Join the conversation as we examine how the decline of politics at home sends sho...

Changing routines is not easy, changing your mind about a deeply held belief is almost impossible, at least it seems that way. This episode covers a few topics as they relate to change. First we'll look at the real source of America's biggest problems. Spoiler: it's not your neighbors. While we're busy blaming each other, the government continues to slap band aids on deep systemic wounds rather than addressing root causes.

Tune in to the hot topics discussed between John and I that started a couple weeks ago, as we continue to dissect the issues that fuel the divide between right and left. Expect more pushback. Expect uncomfortable truths. Expect the unexpected. Can there ever be some kind of reasonable middle ground met with the possibility of beginning the bridge building? A conversation across the aisle, a heated debate, a message from dual viewpo...

In this episode, I sit down with a social media force - an influencer big on TikTok - who once stood firmly on the conservative side of politics. But something changed. Today, she's speaking out from a liberal perspective and sharing the personal, political, and cultural turning points that changed her beliefs and ultimately led her to cross the aisle. The shift was a huge turning point in her life, it was her awakening. If you've ...

The double standards embedded in America's immigration enforcement is more clear than ever. What we're witnessing isn't just flawed policy - it's the latest chapter in a tale as old as time: racism masquerading as national interest. For generations, America has used its laws to enforce social hierarchies, often built on racial lines. From who gets welcomed to who gets punished, who is feared versus who is forgiven. The patterns don...

Tensions rise as we venture into the deep divide of American politics. Well actually, to keep it real, my tensions (passion for what's right!) rise a bit while John keeps it cool! In this episode, I'm joined by a regular guy named John - a staunch Republican - for a debate between both sides of the political aisle. Is it a healthy debate or just more division? Is civil discourse still possible in toda...

Whether you’re skeptical, curious, or fully open, this conversation offers a rare glimpse into a ...

In this powerful episode, we sit down with a licensed therapist to explore how personal healing ripples out into the broader world. We talk about the emotional toll of living in a fractured society, how unchecked trauma shapes collective behavior, and why therapy isn’t just about the individual—it’s a tool for societal transformation. If we want a healthier world, it starts with healthier minds.  Tune in for a conversation that bri...

I, for one, am no longer very confident in our school system. Our children are not getting the education they need and deserve. Due to increasing failures such as a lack of funding, under-paid teachers, poorly formatted cirriculums, improper testing and individualized learning, to name a few. What if there was another option available to those parents having concerns about their children's educations? Maybe there is. Tune in as, in...
