98. Dr. Ravi Chandra on mental health, gun culture, and compassion

As you all know I have been keen on discussing the importance of mental health in today’s society. Today, I chat with a returning guest, Dr. Ravi Chandra on the importance of mental health in society, but particularly the stigma of mental health in Asian Americans. We also delve into the psyche of the gun culture in America and the need for us to ask ourselves some difficult questions.

62. Derek Johnson on unconscious bias

I sit down with Derek Johnson who was a previous guest on the podcast. Last time we spoke about the divide between the public and law enforcement agencies. Today we discuss the hot topic of unconscious bias and how it relates to law enforcement officers. We delve into recent shootings and his take on arming teachers in school. I also couldn’t talk about these hot topic issues without comparing it to one of my favorite shows, HBO’s The Wire.
