Jamal & I have conversations every week. This one was difficult. He called me last night and said, "you know what we need to talk about tomorrow." In the fallout of the George Floyd debacle, Jamal reflects on his life, and how he is preparing his son's for life, and interactions with police. I try and unpack my feelings and uneasiness with the situation, especially as I fear this could further tear people apart.

There is A LOT to figure out *after we return to normal (including what the new normal is). The polarization of ideas and concepts boiling down to politics will result in fewer ideas that can potentially help everyone. We need honest dialogue, possibly even offensive conversations to learn and come up with solutions in the post-coronavirus world.

There will be a lot of lessons learned from the COVID-19 quarantine. One of the discussion Jamal and I had was if schools would ever consider going digital 2-3 days a week. He said a resounding "no." Because parents want and need "educational daycare." And we shouldn't feel bad saying that.

"Living paycheck to paycheck" is a term I've heard a lot lately. COVID-19 has been a massive hit to people's employment and retirement. However, I believe that NOW is the time for students to learn more about retirement, money, and investing. As this quarantine marches on, I want more people to learn: How to set up an emergency fund, put a percentage for retirement in index funds, learn about real estate, etc. I've been a huge fan of ChooseFI podcast, and their website: https://www.choosefi.com/...

Adam Carolla is the outspoken comedian, author, entrepreneur, and "origional" podcast host. I wanted to dig deep into his "chapter 1" on how he "became" Adam Carolla. I've heard some interviews on his beginnings, but wanted to focus on the mindset and HOW he found all these opportunities. This podcast is NOT about The Man Show, or his documentaries, or even about LoveLine. What it was, however, was understanding the mindset of a man that knows that "luck" favors the prepared.
