On this episode of Etch The Edges we get to meet a down-to-earth good ‘ole Southern Democrat. However, when we say southern and democrat we acknowledge how things have changed. John Jersey Koedderich is what many people expect, and at the same time he most certainly is not. A self-described “I look the part of a GOP man,” who is firmly rooted in the ideals of a modern Democrat. He hails from Glynn County, the same place where Ahmaud Arbery lived and was murdered. The purpose of our podcast is to close the ideological divide with the best tool we know we have, telling the stories that matter, talking and getting to know each other. In other words, we leverage critical thinking in order to lean into discomfort and practice some FCT, Familiarity, Comfort, and Trust. It’s the only path to building the bridge over the divide, and with time perhaps even closing it. So, please give this episode your attention and a good listen. Get to know Jersey and hear the path he has walked. Let’s as he says, “have a conversation with a white guy.”
