Across the Kitchen Table with Elwood Brant

Brandy

Do you have any extra event tickets? Like sports games, concerts, cultural events...
My friend Brandy works for a charity called Tickets For Kids and they are always looking for unused tickets to events that can be passed along to kids who might not get to experience the same things that other kids might. It can be anything from a baseball game to a symphony concert. 
Listen to this episode for more information and to hear Brandy's story...

Katya

In our current culture of fear and discrimination against our neighbors to the south, it is important to realize that we are all human. The United States is a country of immigrants and our past record has shown that we do not treat them well.
"You fear what you don't know."
If we take time to listen to each other's stories, we will find a beauty, strength, and resolve in those who venture into the unknown. Katya's story is already remarkable, facing loss and pain at every turn (not to mention that she is from Mexico.) Yet, her spirit is an inspiration. With two young children, thousands of miles away from family and friends in Mexico, the culture and language differences... you would never be able to tell from meeting her, what she has gone through to get where she is today. I am honored to call her a friend and I invite you to take account of her story.

I learned about the "DISC profile" from another dear friend, Dave, who has his own consulting business, has written several books, and does public speaking events. More info here.
