18 - The State of the World
We're back in full form, exploring the current state of our world
This week we take a deep dive into the current state of our world and where we’re heading. While we do discuss some divisive topics, we ask you listen through to the end with an open heart, with love, and with compassion. The world will never heal unless we can learn to sit down with one another and have a calm discussion, look at things from one another's perspective, and learn to respect one another.
Namaste
Brett & Nevin

Quotes from Guests/Hosts
“If you control the valve on a media source, that’s a lot of power.” -Brett Bender
“We seem to be in this mode where we see something and we just react. We don’t take a moment to take a deep breath, center yourself, and throw away any preconceived notions or conceptions of what is actually going on... listen to the facts... and try to look at things from another person’s perspective.” -Nevin Stoltz
