Hello friends,
It's been a while since I've been able to communicate through this podcast, but I'm so happy to be back!
I had the pleasure of catching up with my good friend Hector Oseguera, a current Anti-Money Laundering Professional at UBS and a former candidate for Congress in New Jersey's 8th Congressional District.
In this conversation, we discussed a wide variety of topics including the state of politics today, how the political discourse in Congress is being drowned out by discourse on social media, the importance of a stable democracy, and some of the issues that are plaguing our country today.
Hector and I have been close friends since my time in New Jersey. Since I moved to Memphis, I have noticed that there are two different realities in this country. Coastal America and Middle America are divided.
Coastal America is flourishing during this Pandemic. There are plenty of opportunities for Work From Home jobs in Coastal America. But places like Memphis are lagging behind. Coastal America is industrialized but vast majority of our country still needs more opportunity.
It was great to reconnect with Hector to discuss income inequality, issues like the legalization of harmless substances, and the importance of restoring democracy by either innovating to incorporate technology and social media or separating those online conversations from the conversations in the halls of Congress.
I hope you have a chance to take a listen!
Sincerely,
Fez and Friends
