SI #15 This is Kwabi Amoah Forson | Humanitarian | The Peace Bus

Kwabi Amoah-Forson.
The Peace Bus.
 
When I think about Kwabi at the Puyallup Fair about 15 months ago. He was near a food stand my kids stopped at, and we began to talk about his why.... why was he there and what was this thing called the Peace Bus. We also got into a short conversation on faith and doing the right thing for the betterment of others. His heart truly captured me, and I promised myself I'd do something for him in the near future.

Maybe being a guest on my show isn't the magical thing I'd ultimately like to gift him with, but it's a start.... because it's about building his audience, not mine. Kwabi's one of the purest people I've met in a long time... motivated by the deepest parts of his heart and spirit, which reminds me to do the same... to be led by the spirit in me.

This is Kwabi Amoah-Forson!

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: On this day in 1987, I joined the Navy. 37 years ago today and I can see every moment clear as a bell. 10 years later, to the day, I was officially divorced from my first wife.

DEATHS: Amy Winehouse died on this day in 2011. I remember it so well. What an amazing talent. Cried watching her live performances a year ago. Not sure why, but recognizing the tragedy, I guess.

If you subscribe to our Patreon, you get to hear us chat about the SONG OF THE WEEK: Izzy and Chris - New song called Quit The Show (Never). Which is basically a song that reminds us to never surrender to outside influence, critics, or fear. I thought it might be appropriate for our chat today. Check it out.
