What if your voice could change the world? Join me, Shawn Michael Crane, as I unravel the immense power each of us holds in today's digital era. Reflecting on my transformative journey from prison to purpose, this episode dives into the boundless potential of our voices, especially when united. With inspiration from thought leaders like Jordan Peterson, we examine the profound influence individuals wield when they choose to speak up. The message is clear: in 2024, your phone is not just a device—it's a platform for change, a medium to reach millions. It's time to harness that power and use it for meaningful impact, whether it's supporting leaders like RFK or recognizing the broader implications of figures like Trump.

With the energy of current events as our backdrop, this is a call to action to unite, inspire, and shake things up for a healthier, more just world. Join the conversation, and let's make our voices count—because change starts with us.
