Black Lives Matter. What Do You Know About BLM

I don't know people involved in the movement here in Las Vegas so everything I know is from news reports that most of the time leave me more confused than ever. It seems what makes it into the mainstream media are short video clips that simply push the viewpoint of the respective host. When I frst started asking my friends whatthey thought of the Black Lives Matter Movement I could tell it made many of them uncomfortable. I want this show to introduce the Black Lives Matter movement to people that may (like me) not have poeple thay can ask in their life. That alone says a lot about why this show is so needed, yes? When you hear my guests you will forever have a better understanding of #BlackLivesMatter and the movement... and I hope get inspired. Guests: Joshua Eaton and Kenny Wiley.

Up Close with Scott Miller

I first discovered Circles USA while traveling the country serving the homeless with Spread Peace USA. I had become discouraged. The winter was ending and several of our Homeless Friend's had died on the streets that winter. More than 36,000 homeless people had died on the streets in America that year. I was looking for answers. One of my homeless friends handed me a book and asked me to be his Ally. I didn't know what he meant but the book he handed changed my perspective on everything. The book was from Move the Mountain, now called Circles USA. As I read that book, I learned some of the causes of poverty but for the first time I was offered a proven way to lift people out of poverty and eradicate it all together. This week we get Up Close with Scott Miller, the Founder and CEO of Circles USA and Author of Until It's Gone: Ending Poverty in Our Nation, in Our Lifetime This e will leave you inspired, hopeful and with the tools to DO SOMETHING!
