Let Me Reach

Phillip Sumpter

Welcome to  “Let Me Reach” podcast, where we explore different perspectives and understand the power of conversations. We believe that our differences are what make us unique and that they are the bridge, that connect us. Our goal is to encourage people to be open-minded and to seek out information from all angles.

In today's world, it's easy to become closed off to new ideas and perspectives. We often surround ourselves with people who share our beliefs and opinions, and we rarely venture outside of our comfort zones. But we believe that this is a mistake. We should be trying to acquire as much information as possible, even if it challenges our existing beliefs.

This podcast is a platform for open and respectful conversations. We don't expect everyone to agree with every idea or philosophy that they hear, but we do believe that everyone should be able to listen without forcing their own side. We want to create a space where people can share their thoughts and ideas without fear of judgment or ridicule.

We believe that there are gems to be found in conversations that we never have. By being open, respectful, and true to ourselves, we can learn from each other and grow as individuals. So join us on this journey of exploration and discovery. Let's embrace our differences and celebrate the power of conversation. Remember, be you. There’s *only1*
