MESSAGE FROM OUR HOSTS
There is no secret that debates often result in tempers, flaring and or feelings getting hurt from the words of people with opposing views. We at the Collective Perspective do not condone name calling or belittling people that are on the show or anybody else that we talk about in conversation. We believe in the facts and only representing ourselves and the show with facts.
This is a mature show with the intention of making a difference in society. Fighting and arguing like children or immaturely does not get us anywhere. Therefore, it is frowned upon to take what somebody says in this podcast and hold it against them with their life or their livelihood.
If you become a member of the Collective Perspective, you must agree that diversity is okay. Diversity is what we want to be able to make a cognitive solution to issues we have in the United States and the world.

Episode 22: Silenced Dissent, Canceled Freedom
Many of us take for granted the freedom of speech that was handed down to us by the Founding Fathers, but do we really understand what it means? The foundation of the United States’ constitutional framework and Bill of Rights established certain freedoms for our citizens. Listen closely, as this episode dives into how freedom of speech is evolving. Explore today’s media landscape and we are slowly being silenced and if “Cancel Culture” is infringing on our rights. You decide. A special thank you to Aaron and Steve for sharing their perspectives on this episode.
Episode 21: Coming Together from the Heart LIVE
The Collective Perspective Podcast celebrated the bicentennial of Jacksonville and Juneteenth on June 15, 2022 with a special discussion, featuring guests: Jeremy Mincey, former NFL player and producer of the upcoming film “13th and Pine”, and Tatiana Yoguez, book author of “Life Outside the Game: A Sex Trafficking Testimony.” The cohosts and their guests share stories and different perspectives from their personal experiences and childhoods. They discussed the following seven Race Card prompts: “How did your family and community influence your understanding of race?”; “How do you respond to people who do not speak English?”; “How does fear affect racial understanding in America?”; “What do these hashtags mean to you: #blacklivesmatter, #bluelivesmatter, #alllivesmatter?”; “Do you think racism is a learned behavior? If so, can it be unlearned?”; “Do the majority of Americans see the Confederate flag as a symbol of racism or a symbol of Southern pride?”‘ and “When you witness someone being discriminated against or persecuted because of their race, do you intervene?” Sponsored by the 904WARD.org, this finale episode of Season 1 was recorded in front of a live audience at the Underbelly in Jacksonville, Florida.
