First Friday Feedback: June 2020

In today’s episode, Phil opens up about his reaction to current events and the piercing question; how do we address the issue of racism in our country?  None of us are exempt from the responsibility.  In fact, we must find a way to start and engage in the uncomfortable conversations.  To be outraged by senseless acts is simply not enough.  We must find a way to separate the byproducts of rage from their root causes such as fear, distrust, and frustration.  Phil encourages each of us to spend the time and energy necessary to become active players seeking to address and fix the real issues.
