Episode 1 "Quietly Thinking About Quitting?"

Author: Jason Petrunik February 28, 2019 Duration: 43:16
EPISODE 1: J-man talks to Shawn about how he built his business, how he conducts himself as a professional outside of it… and WHY it’s a good thing to think about QUITTING from time to time. J-man and Shawn also take a deep dive into racism and stereotypes, from Shawn’s experience with an interracial relationship and having a “Golden Child!” Check out Shawn's incredible web/graphic design @ www.GallantMEDIA.ca and on facebook, GallantMEDIA. Huge thank you as well for being the sponsor of my long time dream, of making the THOUGHT of this podcast, a REALITY!

Hosted by Jason Petrunik, The "HARD TRUTH" feat. J-man started with a focus on personal growth but evolved significantly as our collective reality shifted. Confronted by a fractured public discourse and a changing media landscape, Jason felt a need to steer the conversation toward the substantive and often overlooked. This podcast now delves into the stories and ideas that shape our world, weaving through news, culture, politics, and society with a direct and questioning perspective. The aim isn't to preach but to examine, offering a platform for discussions that can feel sidelined by more mainstream channels. You'll hear conversations that attempt to bridge divides, not by avoiding difficult subjects, but by engaging with them honestly. The tone is straightforward, driven by a belief that understanding complex issues requires looking beyond simplified narratives. Each episode is an effort to share information and perspectives that contribute to a more nuanced view of current events and cultural shifts. Tune in for a thoughtful, and at times challenging, exploration of the forces defining our modern experience.
