Summary
Recently the THRIVE Beyond Religion Foundation has been under attack by the Mormon church’s apologists, the Salt Lake Tribune, some vocal TikTokkers, and a few other Ex-Mormons. Such attacks have taken a heavy toll on many in the THRIVE Board, and on the THRIVE Community overall.
Please join members of the THRIVE Foundation board of directors this Monday at 9am (mountain) as we ask ourselves and the post-Mormon community whether or not we should allow the THRIVE Foundation to die.
Note: Our heartfelt support goes out to the people of Ukraine. Please join us Monday afternoon for a special Mormon Stories Podcast episode about Russia’s war on Ukraine.

| 0:00.0 | Good morning. This is Lisa Hacking. I am a member of the Thrive Board and we are |
| 0:06.7 | here this morning to address some concerns and talk about thrive and if |
| 0:11.1 | thrive should survive and it really makes me sad to even say that because I |
| 0:15.5 | love thrive and thrive is such an important part of my life and a part of our |
| 0:20.0 | community. So with that said, let's get started. Yeah and I'm John. Thanks Lisa for |
| 0:26.4 | being willing to be here and I guess our other two participants should |
| 0:30.7 | introduce themselves Clint. You want to say hi? Hey good morning Clint Martin |
| 0:34.4 | here also. Well we'll talk about this more but previously on the Thrive Board |
| 0:38.8 | and excited to spend a Monday morning with you all. Yeah and Jenny. Hi Jenny |
| 0:45.8 | Martin. I'm really happy to be here. I'm on the Thrive Board also. Yeah and I |
| 0:51.7 | guess is there anybody who wants to say anything just as we open before we |
| 0:56.2 | kind of jump into our attempts to address criticisms and concerns to be |
| 1:01.2 | transparent and to kind of I mean I guess the thumbnail is a little bit |
| 1:07.2 | dramatic right? Should we let Thrive die and I'm sure that there's some people |
| 1:11.0 | saying oh you guys are just being dramatic. You know do anybody want to address |
| 1:16.0 | that? Why would they say that John? Tell us about it. You're asking me. Yeah I mean I |
| 1:25.5 | don't know I guess maybe they would say it's just clickbait or we're just making |
| 1:29.2 | threats or or that sort of thing or trying to be dramatic or get attention or |
| 1:34.4 | victimize ourselves I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. And my my answer to that would be |
| 1:41.1 | this is really hard. This takes a lot of work a lot of time a lot of effort and a |
| 1:45.4 | lot of energy and if it's not valuable to people we have really great things to |
| 1:50.9 | go do in life and we don't need to do this. But we love it and we we feel that |
