Changing the Narrative- THIS WEEK
THIS WEEK: We explore how we as individuals are able to change the narratives in our lives by altering our thought patterns, hard work, and giving back. We are joined by Keith James Alaniz, a veteran who fell in love with Afghani culture during his service and started Rumi Spice, an organization that connects farmers in Afghanistan with markets in the US to ignite economic growth in rural communities. Eugenio Derbez, an actor and producer who is changing the script in several ways with his latest movie, Dora and the Lost City of Gold, also sits down with us to share his thoughts on the stories we tell ourselves and others. We also speak with Neal Karski, founder of Street Samaritans, a non-profit that shifts our city's narratives by starting the conversation about homelessness in Chicago. Today's guests remind us that change can be sparked from within each of us as we start looking at things more deeply...or differently!
