Shift Happens
In a world increasingly marked by division, cruelty, and chaos, Shift Happens is your guide to navigating the social and political turmoil of our time with hope, integrity, and courage. Each week, we bring you conversation with leaders, thinkers, and change-makers who are on the frontline of resisting white Christian nationalism, dehumanization, polarization, and apathy.
Together, we explore how to confront these challenges without mirroring them- how to resist cruelty without becoming cruel, combat anger without being consumed by it, and dismantle systems of injustice while remaining grounding in compassion and humanity.
Shift Happens isn't just about understanding the world; it's about empowering you to shape it. Tune in and discover practical insights, inspiring stories, and the tools you need to resist with resilience, love and purpose.
Change is possible because shift happens.

Nadine Smith: Equality Florida
This week, Joe talks to the executive director of Florida's largest LGBTQ human rights organization; Nadine Smith. Nadine comes from a long line of people fighting for human rights and she takes the legacy seriously.
Nadine is an award winning journalist, named to Time's 100 most influential people in the world and sat with President Bill Clinton in the first meeting between a sitting president and national LGBTQIA leaders.
This conversation is so important, as she reminds us that history already holds the answers to our resistance. Like she said, "There is power in looking back at what we've overcome."
