In this episode of Views From the 7, we kick things off with some real talk and reflection on Father’s Day. From there, we dive into the fine line between being direct and being confrontational—are they really the same? We also get into friendships, entitlement, and whether B. Simone was actually out of pocket or just misunderstood. And yep, Billboard did it again—dropping a list that’s got us all in our feelings: the Top 100 R&B singers of all time. Tap in for that and so much more!

Local and state governments, though often overshadowed by federal government, have tremendous impact on our quality of life. This podcast provides a valuable service by educating people on how to improve their own quality of life through civic engagement. Various organizations encourage residents to register and vote, but it does not appear that anyone is showing voters how to make good decisions when they do. It feels akin to hiring someone for a job without reviewing the job description. Local Matters changes that narrative by educating voters with short, clear, and unbiased civics lessons from a career local government professional, public speaker, and management consultant.
