The American Pulse E18: The Education Conversation

E18: The Education Conversation w Special Guest Chinmay Nagarkar

 

E18 Introduction

Hello listeners and thank you for tuning into the American Pulse. My guest today is a first-generation immigrant with a passion for education excellence for all of our children.

There is much debate these days (with all the corruption being exposed on the national level), of CAN we save the Dept of Education? Is it worth it? How do you correct course for a corrupt organization massive bureaucracy not to mention all the far left ideology that have replaced any real scholarship or deep learning for the kids. The Dept of Education has, to use political jargon, been captured.

Should the Dept of Ed be abolished? I have my thoughts on the matter as I watch countless homeschooled kids do miles better in their intellectual development than the public school kids. But we can‘t just abandon all of the kids that are in the system. It doesn’t seem right, does it? My guest today doesn‘t feel right about it either which is one of the reasons he is running for a local school board. Even though his kids are not in the system, he has still raised his hand to be a leader. I love this and it exemplifies the grassroots approach that we celebrate here on the Pulse.

I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation with this wise American. He has some great ideas about how can we can improve education in our great nation. Enjoy the interview.

The American Pulse E8: Balancing Optimism with Discernment

E8: Balancing Optimism with Discernment with Special Guest Janell Hartman

 

E8 Introduction

Hello listeners and thank you for tuning into The American Pulse.

There has never been, in my lifetime, a more polarizing character than President Trump. There are those that love him, those that hate him, and lots people that stand in between.

I saw a recent poll (I can’t remember who conducted it) that said that 90 percent of Republicans agree with the direction the administration is taking us and 4 percent of Democrats approve of the direction.

There has never been a more stark divide of WE THE PEOPLE. I hear and see plenty of evidence in and around Seattle of how scared the left is. I don’t listen to much leftist media anymore but by chance I was listening to one of Steve Bannon‘s podcast episode to get his take a something and he always plays a few minutes of what Rachel Maddow and CNN and MSNBC are saying. You can hear how much fear they are drumming up in their dwindling viewership. Everything they say is a black pill meant to create fear, aversion, loathing, and distrust in those that are ingesting this stuff.

Who wants to feel that terrible all the time? Why would you? Trust me, there’s a better way.We are all going through these changes together and I don’t know about you but I am attracted to the path that is visionary and uplifting and gives us a roadmap of a higher plane that all Americans aspire to, regardless of politics.

These are the times that call us to be more courageous. To let in inputs and information that we have been told to fear. It is, as I have mentioned many times, a COLLECTIVE Hero’s Journey. I wish you Godspeed.

My guest today is a dear friend, podcaster, and an independent thinker who has been watching this narrative war as closely as I have. Enjoy the interview.
