Let's Chew the Gum!

If you could see yourself in others , would you be apt to judge them less harshly?

In this episode I respond to a couple of longtime listeners as they challenge me to explore my own thoughts on the actions of Ja Morant and whether or not I was judging him. Tune in to check out my response and more on the latest edition of,  Let’s Chew The Gum. Let’s Talk About It!

Am I my brother’s keeper? NBA star, Ja Morant was recently banned from all team activities and will likely face substantial repercussions after a video of him waiving a gun was seen on social media. This was the second such incident this spring. With so much on the line including mega-millions from his NBA career and sponsorships, why is he seemingly risking it all. In this episode I’m asking the question , “where is his support system?” Where are his advisors, counselors, or even inner circle of folks that want to see him succeed. No judgment is placed on anyone involved, but I have questions. Let's Talk About it!
