I want to share the incomplete sides of human’s stories, experiences and lifestyles past, present and potentially futuristic. I’ve heard from many of my peers (black, white, gay, straight, Christian, Muslim etc.) what they feel is “wrong” with the world, but very few have taken the time to sit down…

    How to navigate the chaos that will come to disrupt the order of your life so that you don't prevent your growth in 2024 and beyond? In this edition Jay Shakur examines ideas from Jordan Peterson's "12 Rules For Life". Chaos is unexplored territory. It's the things and situations we don't understand. It's where you go when you get fired; it's the threatening stranger on the street; it's the scary audacious goal you've wanted. It's also the realm of possibility and where new ideas form. Order is explored territory. It's stability and structure. It's your plan for the next day, the comfort of tradition, the customs we use to treat each other. Yet it also can mean concentration camps, fascism, and, less extremely, personal stasis and lack of growth. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jay-shakur/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jay-shakur/support
