Welcome to The NeoLiberal Round Podcast! Join your host, Renaldo McKenzie, author of "Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance," and co-host Donte T. Nelson, Producer and Deputy Content Engineer at The NeoLiberal Corporation, in this enlightening episode.
In this installment, Renaldo shares a deeply personal journey of academic struggle during his youth, growing up in an environment that didn't prioritize academic and intellectual excellence or literary scholarship at the highest levels. Despite these challenges, he harbored a dream of making a profound impact on academia, much like an Einstein. Fast forward to today, where Renaldo has achieved just that with his first published academic book, "Neoliberalism," and an upcoming one, "Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered," featuring Prof. Emeritus Dr. Martin Oppenheimer.
Renaldo opens up about how his resilience paved the way for acceptance into an Ivy League college, the University of Pennsylvania, and his current pursuit of a doctorate at Georgetown University. Not stopping there, he also serves as an Adjunct Professor at Jamaica Theological Seminary and manages his own, albeit struggling, company.
Listen in as Renaldo sheds light on the importance of "The Celebration of Disciplines," including the discipline of Solitude (silence), a concept he discovered in a book by Richard Foster after encountering his mentor at the seminary. These principles have grounded him and provided a much-needed focus.
This episode marks the first part of a compelling three-part series with Donte Nelson as co-host, delving into their unique stories—a journey filled with challenges, struggles, and powerful learning experiences. Discover how every obstacle has become an opportunity for growth, skill acquisition, and overall improvement in their shows and websites.

Correction: On the episode you will hear me say, the book is for those who "inspire to grow to inspire to be better". I meant to say, "aspire to" and made a Freudian slip here.
