Hello Parrish the Thoughters. Yes that is a word and you are my groupies. Enjoy your place in the club.
My guest today for the fourth time is my friend Kris Kristensen. For those that are joining us for the first time or if it’s been a minute, three years ago, Kris was diagnosed with stage 4 Chondrosarcoma, an aggressive bone cancer in his pelvis and was literally weeks from the disease taking his life. To save him, doctors performed a grueling surgery called a Pelvectomy. Yes it’s as harrowing as it sounds. The entire left side of his pelvis had to be amputated and in the process he lost a perfectly good left leg.
Needless to say his life was forever changed and this interview is part 4 in a series of life check-ins to see how he is often winning the battle to get his life back to a somewhat normal state and also a deep dive into the darkest recesses of his soul where he often ends up while trying to make sense of the why behind this new journey.
He tells me that dying would have been easy. Living is the hardest part.
Below are links to the previous three episodes of his journey.
Interview #3 - The doctors took my leg and now my career won't have me back...yet.
Interview #2 - 9 months with my new leg and an MBA in life.
Interview #1 - I complained and it saved my life.

My guest today is Adam Coleman, writer, sensible thinker and author of the ever popular book, Black Victim to Black Victor: Identifying the ideologies, behavioral patterns and cultural norms that encourage a victimhood complex. This is his second appearance on the show.
This time it is to discuss his recent video post titled, “Why Joe Biden felt comfortable saying, ‘You Ain’t Black.’” This was a comment he made while being interviewed on The Breakfast Club with Charlamagne Tha God close to three years ago.
Adam and I discuss the why behind Biden’s comfort in spewing such a racist statement and the double standard in our political culture.

This episode is a little disturbing and enlightening.
My guest today is 19-year old Camilla Cloward, founder of the non-profit organization that raises awareness to the world’s number one growing criminal enterprise, human trafficking, Giving A Voice.
Her story is one that no child or human should ever have to endure yet out of the horrific darkness of repeated sexual assaults starting at age 14, leading into drug addiction and a suicide attempt came the passion not be a victim and to help other young people never have to travel the road she has.
Camilla also drops a huge bomb with the recent discovery and betrayal by someone very close to her and her cause. It's beyond heartbreaking however she will turn this into currency. Just you watch.
Contact Camilla: givingavoice@outlook.com or on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/giving.a.voice/
