About a year ago I heard “Let’s all pray for this world” by Perry Farrell, and it immediately resonated with me. I felt if ever there was a time we needed prayer it was then, which was PRIOR to a global pandemic, record unemployment, and worldwide race protests. Today, let’s all stop, take a breath, […]

JumpStart – Race 2

JumpStart- Positivity Bias

Video Audio Synopsis Psychologists all agree that human beings are driven by a negativity bias. And it makes sense because being on the defense is what has kept human beings alive — defending ourselves against nature and defending ourselves against each other. In my opinion, things are the way they are because we have not […]
