The Eyes Tell All /// Felipe Blue /// E131:(Part 1)

Who’s a free thinker in your life?   True free thinkers are few and far between. At More In Common Podcast, the importance of hiring people who challenge what you're doing and thinking is what our guest, and former producer, Ruf Holmes reflected on. But he's much more than a producer; he's an individual filled with talent and creativity who never fails to offer great insight.   Now it’s his turn to take the mic as he reflects on his time as our producer, discusses his personal life and important current issues. Although it's the end of an era for our talented producer we thank him for the impact and dedication he displayed, we honor you! “Compassion most of all is listening and hearing”- Ruff Holmes.   Today we are with Felipe Blue.  He is More Than Therapy’s Founder, Lead Therapist, and Award-Winning Author Felipe helps families, couples, and individuals navigate the stages of their life by providing necessary coping skills for their emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being.   He provides mental health and addictions therapy, family therapy, individual therapy, life coaching, peer support, supervision and consultations. When he is not attending to his or other’s mental health, he is a writer, producer and songwriter, poet, photographer, videographer, graphic artist, and more.   Topics we discuss: Growth over the two years with More in Common Clear and constant communication. Fear of the follow up got better. Learned how to understand people's personalities better. Editing and listening to conversations of guests Found many lessons in ways people view life. Offered a multitude of perspectives. False interpretation of the “Black agenda” The real agenda is to live and survive in this world. Misconception on what the meaning is, people view it in a negative light. It’s a way to live and think freely. Systems that are in place holding back groups Systematic racism simplified. All systems have a dramatic impact on success. References: His Website Jim Crow South Sharecropping Rainbow Row?
