In this episode: I have a chat with Jenilee, a fellow coach’s wife and a good friend of mine. I firmly believe everything happens for a reason. My first interview with Jenilee a few weeks ago didn’t have the audio quality I wanted so we decided to try again. This caused a very civilized and important conversation about what is going on in our country. We discuss COVID, our coach’s returning to work, humble moments as she started a new job, as well as the events surrounding the murder of George Floyd. I am not one to be overly political on social media but I think the events with George Floyd and the riots/protests that followed need to be addressed. I used my podcast as an intimate platform to discuss my views with Jenilee in a peaceful manner. No matter what your take is on this situation, it is very clear that reform is necessary for us to be united as a nation. This conversation is obviously not all fun and rainbows like a want my podcast to be, but it’s vital that I air what was said. Where do you find me?
