A great conversation with artist Brenan Sharp that weaved into many stories of how artists and authentic art and ideas are the counter balance to all of the fake and AI generated trickery. We discussed how art can bring us together. We discussed how the desire for authenticity will only increase and how using art to build community will become more sought after. We discussed how at the end of it all, stories are what matter most and are expressed through all of the humanity mediums. It was a most delightful, fun, inspiring and optimistic hang with a friend. We were one broad short on this podcast as Sarah was not able to make the conversation and she was missed but, hey, life happens as we all know and we pivot.

All dangerous and very toxic personalities aside, how can something like declaring no contact with parents become a trend? It seems like it is rather becoming a thing in cases devoid of abuse, addictions or mental illness. In a time of severe isolation, lack of community and strained relationships it seems so very dark to make a hard line towards ones parents. Are healthy boundaries pushing over the line for sake of ones mental health or is protection of ones mental health becoming synonymous with one creating a false perfect bubble where if you don't agree with or dislike something about someone the answer becomes to ghost them; even your parents? This to the Two Broads feels most likely yet another chink in the armor of families which of course is how societies are destroyed.

Tune in as the Two Broads have their friend, Stacy Dam of Set Your Sites back for the third time! We love following the journey of Set Your Sites so we love to invite her back whenever she has new and exciting updates. We use Stacy's journey as a great reminder that a frustration over something can lead to declaring a problem and then deciding to idea a solution into existence. Her story is the essence of the entrepreneurial spirit and it makes it that much more exciting to realize she stands alone in the arena of her chosen problem solving and clearly her idea and the timing lined up. Listen in for tips on finding funding, learning to bring in others on your idea, taking your idea seriously, business incubators, parenting, outdoor life, family life and more.

Does it seem that more and more growing up and growing old are at odds? The Two Broads discuss how so many grown adults seem to be acting out like young children in many different ways. From public outbursts, road rage, anxiety over decision making, whining and complaining and seemingly needing to soothe and pacify themselves in so many bad ways. Our culture is in dire need of some good old fashion maturity. Maturity is not a bad word and the lack of it is playing out before our eyes. Tune in.

The Two Broads dear friend, Tom Arnold, joined us for a beautiful conversation about freedom, parenting, grand parenting, curiosity, life skills, generation bridging, individual liberty, ideas, boomers, pursuit of happiness, homesteading, simple life and friendship which shines throughout the entire episode. Tom is a ninth generation Tennessean, a true humanitarian, a life long learner and teacher. Tom was involved in politics since he gave out Barry Goldwater pencils from the seat of his bicycle and was influential in Tennessee as a political go to. Always about people and personal liberty first, Tom is the quintessential southern gentleman who has been a beacon of light for so many in a time of turmoil. If you listen closely all prescriptions for a good life are in this episode. Sarah starts the episode with her newest farm life tale which left her feeling empowered. No tech problems in this cast but there may or may not be animal sounds that make appearances. This cast is like a glass of iced tea on a shady porch from a rocking chair after being dehydrated in a desert.

We invited the Common Core Diva, Lynne Taylor, back on for another episode as we could never exhaust all of the information she has on public education. Lynne is a wonderful researcher of original source documents. What she brings is from what those who release this stuff upon the rest of us from their blueprints of diabolical abuses that they write as both experiments and laws. Don't worry though, it is all in the name of progress, safety, inclusion, health and fairness of course. Lynne reads long word salad documents and shares what she finds; a task very few do. Of course there is no way to enter into a discussion on the mind control that public education is without venturing into so many other topic trails. After all, public education is our privileged right of passage into molding the future. The problem is, who's future? I should probably put a warning on this episode but I won't. We are all adults here, right?

There is a donate button on her website where those who realize the effort and time of what she does can contribute. She is on no payroll.

It is not new that news media/journalism has been in the great race to the bottom for quite some time now but Sarah recently maxed out on the levels it is at and needed to vent. I mean, don't we all know at this point that big news affiliates are corporate owned and create within their brood controlled opposition so that between the fans of news red pill and news blue pill they get all the advertising dollars and get to control narratives. Cool. Some journalists have left that propaganda pump fest for smaller owned media outlets but it seems they start to veer for the shallow end of the pool and much of journalism now seems cult of personality; like most everything else. Well, we vent some feelings about this topic and more AND have laughs doing it. Warning though; Sarah names names.

Jill Turpin joined the Two Broads for a great discussion on AI. Jill is a multifaceted artist as well as the brain child and director of an arts council and community center. We discussed the new frontier of art in the rapidly advancing AI era. How do artists respond? Will real art without AI be appreciated? Do people value art anymore since images are thrown at us daily like sand on a beach. More important, do we value what it is to be human anymore? Are we ripe for AI taking over all aspects of our lives? Are people ready? How does one ready? Are some in denial about it? All this and more in a deep conversation leading to some legit questions we should all be asking ourselves in these times we find ourselves in.
