In this episode, Tim and Vanessa bring The Blame Game's ugly reality to the table. This week, the focus is on shifting from a victim mindset to a responsibility mindset. Both hosts are passionate about bringing solutions to culture and country while eliminating the opportunity for victimization. Episode Highlights: We are bringing solutions forward to change the results instead of becoming hyper-focused on who is at fault. We are creating our identity away from the current culture of partnering with the wrong. We need to understand that we continually inherit broken systems and that it is our responsibility to resolve the issues. Recognizing the wrongs is beneficial; how we overcome them is what is most important. Connect with us on Facebook @ https://www.facebook.com/libertytable or on Instagram @libertytable.

In this episode, Tim and Vanessa explore the topic of allegiance when it comes to culture and country. As always, everything at the table starts with a question. What are we pledging allegiance to, and how has that changed over time? Vanessa and Tim want to remind their listeners that our country was created as an experiment! If that intrigues you or makes you go “hmmmm….”, Listen and see why this has become a hot topic in our culture! Episode Highlights: Define ‘Allegiance' as a declaration of agreeance. Break down the Pledge of Allegiance to reveal unity. Look back and see that other nations were not doing what we were doing when our nation was created. “Everything is broken,” and it is “someone else's else fault” shifts to The People's accountability. Explore the impact of maturity in mastering our emotions and wisdom in our words. Connect with us on Facebook @ https://www.facebook.com/libertytable or on Instagram @libertytable.

In this episode, Tim and Vanessa talk about what is needed to produce real solutions. What would happen if things shifted as a culture, an individual, or a country to bring about these real solutions? Tim and Vanessa bring real scenarios and what isn't working on the table.

In this episode, Tim and Vanessa bring hope to the table. As a country, hopelessness is a common language right now. Shifting the focus and magnifying what is possible is what Tim and Vanessa break down and develop language for in this episode. They recognize that we are a people of hope, solution, and potential. Episode Highlights: We believe that the culture can be changed with hope.  Shifting into solution-oriented mode instead of hopelessness Understanding individual purpose or a state's purpose fuels hope and brings people together In the face of adversity, humanity has been innovative.

In this episode, the conversation focuses on stepping into the political realm as a candidate representing the people's point of view.  Episode Highlights: Dr. Fizer shares his personal story of his health issues, which lead him to choose to make a change in healthcare and politics by representing the people. We need to understand that a broken system cannot fix systems and realize the way to change systems is by changing hearts.
