Ep.122 - Twitter Racial Tensions w/ Ivy Dec 08, 2021

Show notes

A lot of crazy stuff happened on Twitter Spaces with "Why Do White People Exist" and "Why Do Black People Exist" along with some others. Naturally people got mad. One of those people, Ivy, challenged me to have a conversation about what went on, so I took her up on it. I think we not only calmed some of the anger from those spaces, but also found that we really see eye-to-eye on more things than we would have expected going in to this conversation. I really got a big white pill from this!

Ep.121 - While I Wait Dec 06, 2021

Ep.115 - Respectful Parenting with Alex Hatch Nov 10, 2021

Show notes

Today I'm joined by Alex Hatch to talk about Respectful Parenting. I've kind of felt like I may not always be a great parent...I might be a bit abrasive after all...so I wanted to chat with her a bit about the ideas of Respectful Parenting, different schooling options, and let her give me some tips on how I can not suck so much at this dad stuff. Hopefully you'll find some good takeaways from this. I certainly did!
