Summary

Hill Harper: "Stop thinking that just because you have good intentions, it will lead to proper results. Intended, strategic, continuous, action on a daily basis is more important than good intentions.” We truly believe at mbg that actions are louder than words; and right now, it’s the time for action that leads to impact. Which is why mbg co-CEO, Jason Wachob, sits down with Harper, a humanitarian, award-winning actor, and four-time New York Times bestselling author, to discuss what we can do from here to make our country better for the minorities who have suffered for far too long, plus: *Why holding your country to the highest standard is the most patriotic thing you can do* *Why checking in on your black friends is not enough* *Why everyone has a part to play in finding justice* *How to put your privilege on the line and make yourself uncomfortable* *Why "listening and learning" can sound like an excuse* This episode is Sponsored by Breyers.
