I am here to have honest conversations with people around the world. I want to know, how are you doing, really? These are conversations built to encourage speakers to share what truly wants to unfold as a result of their current life experiences. My hope is that listeners will be able to empathize with my guests in order to gain new perspectives of compassion.

Today, Sam speaks with one of his closest friends, Chase.
Join us as we talk about Chase's experience during COVID-19 & social/civil justice movements:
Feeling trapped at home during COVID | Jogging as an outlet to get alone time and reset | The murder of George Floyd + COVID bringing light in the darkness | Being bi-racial having a white mom & black dad | Bringing DEI into the workplace | Experiencing rage around the murder of George Floyd | Using humor as a means to fit it | Identifying as black from junior high onwards | Being called the "N" word by peers & adults | Being run off the road by a truck while walking home from school | Identifying how the world sees you | Being assaulted as a toddler because he of his blackness | The complexity of racism | "You can’t necessarily change the past; you only have the future to make things better. " | Human=not perfect | Being mirrors for each other |
Thank you so much for sharing so vulnerably, Chase, I love you!
