Melting Pot Talks

In this episode we speak with three guests, Haley, Ashley, and Will. This conversation surrounds what the concept of wellness means to them, their personal journeys through wellness, and advice on how to apply the lessons they've learned along the way to beginning, maintaining, and maximizing wellness in our own lives.
Our goal here at melting pot talks is to facilitate genuine, honest, and in-depth conversations between people of different backgrounds and perspectives who are interested in exploring the important and interesting issues surrounding our everyday lives. This is only possible through the participation of everyday people who are passionate about their beliefs, but understand that we all still have a lot to learn from each other.

Let's Talk About Faith & Politics

In today's conversation we explore how individuals balance their personal world views with creating public policy and enforcing governance over a diverse population of people.
The discussion is bit from our different from our usual format. Originally we had 3 guests from different backgrounds and locations lined up to record, unfortunately, 2 of them had to cancel at the last minute. Instead of canceling the show, we adjusted a bit and had more of a traditional 1:1 interview with our remaining guest, Gerald.

While it wasn't what we had originally planned, I'm grateful that Gerald agreed to stick around and continue the conversation with me.
