These are critically important times we are living in, important for the future of our planet, our culture, and the world we want to live in and pass on to future generations.
Today on the podcast, I am asking us to reflect on our beliefs, decisions, and actions through the lens of our shared humanity. And we will do just this by taking a deeper dive into the following current events:
