This week we changed things up a bit and spoke with Glenda Breiler who is running for the Washington State House of Representatives in the 22nd district, she is a member of the Colville Tribes and would be the only member of a Native American tribe elected to public office in Washington state. We spoke to her about the importance of water and the environment as a whole, healthcare, and social unrest. Glenda is an amazing progressive candidate that we wanted to spotlight on the podcast.

This week I had the privilege of speaking with US Olympic High Jumper Jamie Nieto about suffering a spinal cord injury, his acting/writing/producing, his wife appearing on America's Got Talent, and how his faith has helped him deal with his new reality. Also I talk about a quadriplegic in Texas with Covid 19 that was denied a ventilator and allowed to die because the doctors didn't think it was worth it.
