1/28/26 5PM: Mentorship, Mortality & the State of the City

The second hour begins with major local headlines, from housing displacement and repeat burglaries to criminal convictions and continued speculation about Giannis’ future. Dr. Ken then shifts the focus to mentorship, highlighting how real guidance can change lives and sharing a personal story about growing up without a father and the impact mentorship had on his own path. The conversation deepens when Dr. Ken reacts to Ray J’s health scare, asking listeners whether they would want to know when their life will end. Calls from Sandra and Al spark debate about activism, pessimism, and whether social media fuels a constant sense of doom. The show wraps with Dr. Ken reminding listeners that while headlines matter, people — showing up, mentoring, and leading with intention — are what truly change a city.
