29:22

The world often feels rigged. And this episode is a wake-up call to recognize the barriers that exist for those who don’t fit the traditional mold. In this episode, which is a kind of tribute to my dear departed Dad, I recount some powerful lessons from the man who was a brilliant psychiatrist and my biggest champion. He taught me that if something feels off about the environment you’re in, it probably is—and it’s absolutely hella-not your fault. We dare to break into the uncomfortable truth that many workplaces are designed for a very specific demographic, leaving neurodivergent individuals, particularly those on the autism spectrum, feeling excluded. I share three stories in which my Dad imparted to me more than my fair share of his wisdom, and I'm hoping you to can feel empowered. You'll learn that we can advocate for ourselves and others to create a more inclusive work culture.

Where's the Beef... From? 26:43

99% of the beef bought in grocery stories is raised in factory farms. These cows are grain fed instead of grass fed through grazing. They are injected with steroids to accelerate their growth and shot with antibiotics to deal with the diseases that come from living in confined spaces. An environmentally friendly solution is to buy beef from local farms. Tim and Karen Harris own such a farm in Newton, NC and are members of Trinity Baptist Church, where I currently serve as interim pastor. Their beef is delicious. This is their story.
