Jamaica Then vs Now feat. Wendel Guthrie (015)
08/18/19 • 56 min
In this episode, I discuss Jamaica then versus now with my dad, Dr. Wendel Guthrie, as he outlines many of the things that were, and how they have changed from pre to post-independence:
How old are you?
When did Jamaica become independent?
Tell me about Jamaica pre-independence and growing up at that time?
Where in Westmoreland are you from?
What type of currency were we using pre-independence?
What was society like at that time with a British rule?
What was fashion like?
What was accessibility like e.g. in entertainment - new movies and music?
What other music was playing pre-independence?
What was your household disciplinary structure?
What were the opening hours of establishments like?
What was infrastructure like pre-independence and in rural Jamaica?
What was the social/cultural response anticipating independence?
How quickly does a transition to independence happen?
What type of currency were we using at the transition to independence?
Downtown Kingston and entertainment options (e.g. movies, live music etc) back in the day.
What was violence like and the extent of it?
Did you have a fear of Kingston, as someone coming from rural Jamaica?
How did life change for you once you could afford more?
How would you compare Jamaica then to now?
How do you process the changes in life and culture as you are ageing?
Is there anything you would want to see moving forward or are we on the right path?
What would be your top 3 countries that you have travelled to?

The 90-Day Rule feat. Shari-Lee Crooks (014)
In this episode my friend, Shari-Lee Crooks and I speak about The 90-Day Rule and whether we think it works, doesn’t work, or is even worth it. Here’s the breakdown:
Who are you?
How do you define the 90-Day Rule?
Are these persons who are dating?
Do you think that abstaining for 90 days while dating is sensible?
Do you think that relationships should survive on core values prior to sex?
How fast do we get to know what our fundamental connections are?
How do we truly identify someone’s intention?
What if the man isn’t organized and structured?
If things have started to go well with a guy maybe 2 weeks into dating, are you now consciously applying a 90-day rule?
What are some of the important things you would want to ascertain early out from someone you are dating?
How do you go about getting this foundational information?
Do you feel like the 90-day rule applies to Jamaicans?
What about Christianity and the 90-day rule?
Do you think it’s unusual for a man to set a 90-day rule?
Are there women who just want sex?
What are some other things outside of the 90-day rule that is protective?
Have you done your reconn?
What are the final conclusions on The 90-Day Rule?
