MY 60 Hour Dry Fast - no food or water (an expert on my own body) episode 141

Have you ever fasted? Have you ever completed a dry fast? I recently completed a 60 hour dry fast, which was my first fast in about 18 months. I am not a doctor or a medical expert, but I am an expert on my own body. Check out this episode and see how I lasted for 60 hours with no food or water. My friends on social media asked me to do an episode where I sum up my experience on this recent fast, so here it is.

Does Your Life Have Enough YOU in it? episode 137 with my guest Merete Vold

Why do we so often feel that we need to change our path in life, or that we aren't worthy of the very goals we have created for ourselves? Merete Vold and I talk about how, very often, the solution to stagnation in life is a more focused infusion of who we are, and a self-provided reaffirmation of what we stand for. This podcast episode left me inspired and highly motivated to continue my work!

Black America - Victim Mentality or Victim Reality? episode 136 Happy Juneteenth with John Alan

Now that we have Juneteenth as a Federal Holiday in the United States, I present the following question: Do black Americans suffer from a so-called Victim Mentality, or does American history show that black Americans are capable navigators of what I call a "Victim Reality". Which is the most true and relevant representation of black America today?
I say "Happy Juneteenth" to you all, but I talk about how, in the recognition of Juneteenth as an official Federal Holiday, America seems to have just stepped over or walked past other important issues that America needs to take care of in the interest of true equality for black Americans.
I saw a video from The Glenn Show where Glenn Loury and John McWhorter were discussing the "Infantilization of Blackness" and their opinions that black Americans suffer from a victim mentality. My pushback to that is made clear in this episode. I point out a few facts:
1. Black American success in Tulsa, Oklahoma from 1865-1921 (and many other locations/areas of the United States at that time) shows the resilience of the former slaves and free black Americans, and their refusal to be burdened with a victim mentality.
2. Black American resilience during the Jim Crow years is yet another example of a broad refusal of the social policies of the time, and is hardly an example of a universal victim mentality for those black Americans.
3. Current impressive advances in the level of education among black Americans also points toward a free-thinking and positive mindset. (Sources are cited in the podcast episode)
A victim mentality INCAPACITATES and SUBJUGATES. I see EMPOWERMENT and INNOVATION in the greater Black Community in the USA. Of course we have institutional/systemic racism and policies such as redlining that are suppressing advancement, freedom and liberty for a large portion of black Americans, and I discuss this and its influence in this episode.
