The Point of It All

It never occurred to me that bullying might be different in other cultures, but that's exactly what I found out while talking to "Joe," my guest on this episode about bullying. Joe is from Malaysia, and the world he describes is eat or be eaten. If you aren't the bully, then you're the one getting bullied. Growing up in a boarding school may have had something to do with this way o

While I was doing my research for the topic on bullying, one thing became very clear early on in the process. The vast majority of us has experience with bullying. Weather it was as a bystander watching the other guy get pummeled daily, or the parent wondering how to handle their child bulling someone else's child in school, just about all of us has a story to tell about bullying.

Here are some quick facts about prostate cancer: An estimated 164,690 men in the United States will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year. The average age of diagnosis is 66. The disease rarely occurs before the age of 40. For unknown reasons, the risk of prostate cancer is 74% higher in Black men than in non-Hispanic white men. African-American men are more than twice as lik

Season 5 of The Point of It All podcast is here, but it almost didn't happen. In fact I was going to end the show after last season's final episode because I was burnt out! There's quite a bit of work that goes into producing a podcast, and quite frankly I didn't have the energy until now. In this first episode of season 5 I talk about the state of our union, particularly as it rel

Four years after winning Master Chef Season 10, my sister Dorian Hunter has been busting her butt to parlay that win into something even bigger. In this episode we talk with Chef Dorian about the concept of the book, the struggles she had to endure to complete it, and that cover photo! 😂 It's such a joy seeing your family do great things, and there's seemingly no stopping Team D

Admittedly so I was ignorant to the details of this conflict, but over the last couple of days I made a concerted effort to learn more about the history of this battle, and the more I learned the more my opinion moved regarding who's right and who's wrong. My concern is that the news coverage has been 95 percent pro Jewish, and 5 percent Palestine. But even the pro Palestine covera

I love following politics. I like the back and forth between elected officials, and watching democracy in action. But I've made a concerted effort not to make my podcast all about politics because that'd be taking the easy way out, and no one wants to listen to a podcast about saving Democracy on every episode any way. However, we are at time in our country's story where voter apat

I've always admired authors. There's just something about creating a piece of work, then putting it on display for the world to see. Opening yourself up to all manners of criticism along the way can be quite a daunting proposition for most of us, and I suppose I do the same thing with my podcast, but it's different with written work. I always felt more vulnerable presenting written

When I sent out a call for a guest to talk about living through periods of homelessness, I received many offers to come on my podcast. Gregorio's story offered much more than living homeless, as you'll learn by listening to this episode. Gregorio, an author of 3 books written to help others deal with depression and other mental issues was one of my more memorable guests. Beginning

I follow politics pretty closely, and while I had a pretty good idea of what "Gerrymandering" is I still learned a few things from my guest, high school government teacher Patrick Creedy. Patrick has been teaching for 20+ years, and he was really able to go into great detail regarding Gerrymandering. on this podcast. If you've heard the term on TV, but didn't really grasp the conce
