Are You Choosing to Live, or Waiting to Die? DTH Episode 147 with Clint Hatton

Are You Choosing to Live, or Waiting to Die?
This may be one of the most terrifying questions we have to ask ourselves as individuals. I personally believe we were given life, not simply to live, but to live fully. It goes right to the core of personal accountability. If you are not living the life that you want, what is standing in your way? My answer, in most cases, would be YOU. We live in a risky world, and living fully often means living courageously. So it may be time to ask yourself the question, are you choosing to live, or waiting to die?

The End of Bias Starts with a Conversation… DTH Episode 146 with Jessica Nordell

The End of Bias Starts with a Conversation

Have you ever stopped to think whether your unconscious thoughts contributed to bias or stereotypes? I think if we are honest, do some self-reflection, and allow for some vulnerability, we’d all say yes. I’m one that will readily say that not all bias is bad, but it’s often thought of in bad context. Negative bias and unfavorable stereotyping often lead to great harm. It is for this reason, we should all do what we can to acknowledge and stamp out bias. In many cases, the end of bias starts with a conversation.
