524 - Shop Talk Special Report with Nathan Goldman ok DKNG Studios

We know there is a lot to process right now and that work might seem like the last thing you feel capable of dealing with. America feels plunged in a chaotic whirlwind of orange hair and unstoppable executive orders that are leaving our system of checks and balances in the dust. A lot of Americans feel like some very tiny hands are trying to rip apart the very fabric of democracy and culture of inclusion this nation stands for. We might not be perfect yet but these first few weeks of Trump's presidency has left us feeling like we are in a dangerous backslide of human rights and foreign policy. Mark Brickey and Nathan Goldman take set aside some time to talk about everything happening and how they feel it effects themselves, their business, and the world at large. If you're feeling overwhelmed, if you're feeling enraged, if you're feeling incapable of making a difference... this is one place you can start to set things right. Talk with your friends. Listen to your neighbors. We truly are stronger together.
