KEW Episode 18: Dream Bigger

Our fear of the future leads us to discourage the next generation from Dreaming Big. But, big dreams are the key to positive change.

Flashback to Episode 1: Facts

In my first ever post I discuss Facts, Ideas, and Opinions. It’s important to know the difference. In the day of alternate facts, fake news, and seemingly infinite opinions it’s critical to be aware of all the misinformation out there.

Which is why the “Who lives, who…
