Some editors say sports stories are the hardest stories to write because we already know the endings. But readers and viewers love them anyway! Even folks who don't keep up with sports often find something to warm their hearts in an inspiring tale.

Why are sports stories captivating even to people who aren't sports fans? And why do sports stories carry their enormous power to create social change? To talk about that, Amy and Holland invited Dr. Tom LeGrand, a former sports podcaster, and Brendan Scott, an English teacher and a coach, to the table.

Dr. Tom LeGrand serves as the Regional Director Carolinas for Impact America. Tom also has experience in radio broadcasting, podcasting, and writing. From 2010-2012, Tom co-hosted The Lettermen's Lounge, a sports podcast that covered local, national and international athletics. It is a subsidiary of Jungle Gem Sports, LLC.

Brendan Scott earned a degree in English from the University of Colorado and then traveled to Guatemala where he taught writing, English, and physical education for three years at the Inter-American School of Xela. After returning to the U.S., Brendan earned a master's degree in English Education at Regis University and began teaching high school English. He also coaches the women's basketball and cross-country teams at Jefferson High School. Brendan recently married April, a librarian, after proposing to her on a trip to Harry Potter World. He blogs at Living Spiritually and Adventure With Brendan. https://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/id/26969247/tdest_id/1016810

Moral outrage narratives fueled by social media continue to be a very real trend. Many people around the globe jump to wrong conclusions and develop what often leads to moral panic. How can we scale back the rhetoric? Is there a solution to this tribalism? What is the impact of developing ingroups and outgroups on our communities?

We are rereleasing this episode from 2020. Not surprisingly, much of the conversation with Dillon Smith and Rob Henderson is even more relevant today. https://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/id/26824386/tdest_id/1016810

Dr Robert Hartwig, professor of finance and the director of the USC Risk Management Center explains that this current season of inflation is NOT the worst in the history of the US economy. Financial historians remind us that one of the worst periods of inflation was during the 1970s and 1980s when there was high inflation and high unemployment. Inflation impacts us individually in a psychological as well as economical manner, so we need to stay balanced.
As individuals, we can find balance as we review our income and adjust it with our outflow. Creating a budget, prioritizing spending, and planning for a longer period of inflation than anticipated are key elements. We have more control over our financial destiny than we think. Every disaster gives us an opportunity for a creative solution. http://afterwordpodcast.libsyn.com/the-afterword-on-navigating-inflation-part-2?tdest_id=1016810
