The Point of It All
A podcast that touches on every day life issues, but from an "inner circle" point of view. I interview my closest family and friends to find out how they get through difficult times, as well as celebrating their victories.

I often find myself wondering how America came to the decision to elect Donald Trump not once, but twice over the last decade. I kept coming back to the piece by Lerone Bennett Jr., "The Road Not Taken." In it, he examines the critical decisions made by our early leaders and how they shaped modern America.
In this episode, I read the first few paragraphs, but I strongly encourage you to read the full piece. It is a powerful, heavy read, and you may feel the full weight of these historical choices. I hope it sparks deeper reflection for all of us.
