Well, we have been inundated with media about #theslap, #Will Smith reaching out and touching #Chris Rock. Well, the perspective that is not being shared is that of the Kids.

St. Patrick's Day Special

Hold just a moment before you pour the pint and let loose the craic. St. Patrick's day isn't just a drinking holiday. The Irish have a lot to pass down to the younger generations; both from experience and from cultural traditions. Draw up into a school circle, lite the pipe and pass a few of it down.
In this special edition, I'll share my own families journey from Limerick as well as point out some similarities to the Irish journey to America compared to recent events.

Episode 26: Give them a Good Show

Often Times, we need the perspective of the youngsters. In this episode, I interview (I use that loosely because my interview skills are, well, admixture at best) a youngster from the dirt track. Not just any youngster, but NASCAR perspective and local track favorite #ColbyPerkins!
Now, Colby provides insight and advise as a younger racer (he is only a senior in high school), and how his mentorship from his family has helped shape him. While humbling and close sighted as he speaks, make no mistake .... this kid is going places.
