Episode 11: Cancel Culture
The Purple Evolution
08/17/20 • 55 min
“Cancel Culture,” or the purposeful derailing of another’s career, reputation or even life is becoming an epidemic in America. Why now? Where does this attack mentality stem from? Boycotting is a form of protest but Cancel Culture seems to go beyond the protesting of a person’s product or service – it protests the person; denying the leeway to make mistakes. And many of the words or actions that act as the impetus for cancellation are not even offensive to the masses but, rather, the outspoken minority. What are the pros and cons to this trend that has gained so much momentum? And where does the balance lie?

Episode 3: Why Be Purple?
The Purple Evolution
06/15/20 • 44 min

Episode 16: The Rebel Flag
The Purple Evolution
10/19/20 • 63 min
Does the rebel flag represent slavery and/or bigotry? Should the rebel flag be allowed to fly in government spaces?

These questions are investigated and answered by our listeners during an intriguing conversation about symbols and meanings – and the emotions they elicit.

Episode 15: Supreme Court - Supreme Conflict
The Purple Evolution
10/06/20 • 61 min
What is “fair” in politics? Is “fair” even a word that should be associated with politics? Has our society gotten to the point of such polarization that we no longer even attempt to do what’s best for the majority of Americans – but rather what’s best for “our side?” The newly vacant seat on the Supreme Court has spurred much debate on the appropriate actions to take in filling it and questions regarding the law of the land vs. personal integrity are now being asked more frequently than ever. Will we ever again have “order in the court?”

Episode 26: David Meyers Interview: Fostering Care
The Purple Evolution
03/16/21 • 62 min
What does the foster care system have to do with being purple? Apparently, everything! And, not only that, but it’s proving to be a more purple system in the social services than just about any other. Seasoned lawyer David M. Meyers meets with us to discuss the need for (and often successful integration of) purple ways. Foster care seems to demand a purple approach if those involved really want what’s best for the families. Are there other occupations like this? Can we use the foster care as a role model for civil discourse and decision making? No, the system is not perfect – but we can learn from it nonetheless. And when it’s for the kids – it makes it that much easier to pour our hearts into it.

The Purple Evolution

What does it mean to be “Purple?” Does it mean giving up your beliefs? Does it mean being centrist? Or is it simply a way to engage in civil discourse while discussing difficult and often dividing topics. Find out what this movement is all about and why it is important now more than ever!

Episode 10: The Cynical Party
The Purple Evolution
08/03/20 • 69 min
The use of words is an action that could stand to utilize a bit more conscious thought. Words can lift up, tear down, soothe or start a fight. Even the seemingly innocuous words can have damaging effects on our goal if we don’t understand how they land on the people we are addressing. Both Doug and Armand give a multitude of examples from today’s society – both the words used and the resulting effects.
