    In this episode Terence L. Shigg and his special guest James Dallas discuss how people of color are not afforded the same opportunities as their counterparts. In order to rectify this we must start with our young people and people of color must change their mindset. The mindset of success has common denominators. One being a positive sense of self and a willingness to sacrifice to get where you want to go. The American dream can be realized by people of color but know that in order to access that dream you must know that the Ameri-Con is real. You will be set to be a part of someone else's dream if you do not determine your own dream and work to achieve it. Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=ZNHPNYQRKFZHQ)

    It's Not ok! Our teenagers are just as important as our first responders and essential workers. Their is a shared suffering that our teenagers are trying to deal with and they should not have to do it alone. Teen suicide and depression is on the rise. Adults have learned to cope and expect teens to do the same without the tools necessary. Paul Bunch from River Rock Film Studio in Hollywood, California shares the story of his son and his latest project "Alone." Paul recounts hearing his son tell him "It's not ok" and realizing as a father and an artist he had to do something. Paul interviewed teenagers and what he found out will get your attention and make you realize we are neglecting our youth. Paul's project is a call to action. A wake up call to adults. We need to talk to our young men and women and let them know we are their advocates and we are suffering with them. In the shared experience we can produce solutions that heal.

    Invisible People

    Invisible People are everywhere if you are listening and looking. There are whole segments of society that feel as though they are invisible. Ralph Ellison wrote the book Invisible Man in 1952. It was the story of a Black man who was born in the south and had high aspirations. He went to college and through a series of events realized he was invisible. The young man realized that he was being manipulated by others. The story he wrote resounds in the theatre of real life historical events. Recent and past events including but not limited to the riots after the murder of George Floyd and the storming of the Capital after the loss of the Presidential election by Donald Trump tell us that we must see people and find solutions that speak to the cause of the anger and pain felt by groups and not just look to punish those we judge. Dave Chappelle said the streets were talking after the demonstrations and riots following George Floyd. Is the storming of the Capital, Middle America speaking? I don't know, but I do know that in order to solve the problems we are dealing with today in America, we have to think differently. We have to do more than just "punish" those responsible. We have to speak to those that feel invisible.Train like the best! Drink the best. Ph balanced alkaline water for a healthier drinking experience.

Wealth building is more than just the bottom line. It is about creating a financial foundation that will last beyond your existence and more importantly allows your family to start ahead of where you began. Terence talks about how his definition of success and "hard" work limited his ability to succeed. A paradigm shift was necessary to get the ball rolling and that may be what is needed in the community to ensure access to a mindset and the resources that can lift people out of poverty.

    The Piece Project is a strategic plan to change the world. It's a way to fight against racism and injustice. It is a way to heal trauma, to fight for justice and equality with love, and action.In light of the events that happened with George Floyd and in light of the response to COVID-19 and the state of the country at this point in time, I've really had to search to see where I stand on some of these things. And decide if my stance is such, then my actions must reflect that stance. In this episode I break down the meaning and components of the project as well as discuss the mindset of law enforcement and African Americans. We define success as getting out of the hood but wouldn't it be nice if we could improve the hood so that we wanted to stay.Finally if we love someone, anyone and we want things to get better then we must Get To Work!
