BEing Blunt
The Being Blunt Podcast is an online podcast that provides a sneak peak into my mind and how I process the issues facing our community. At time, I have to laugh to keep from crying but I feel the need to share with others who are ready to get off the sideline and make a difference.I will invite guests to join me for spirited debates and concurrence with the goal to promote our listeners to join in these conversations and freely be their “blunt” selves. I am a true southern gentleman from Louisiana who loves to engage in thought provoking conversations and even some spirited debates over a wide range of everyday topics. I hope to promote and encourage my listeners to join in these conversations and freely be their “blunt” selves.
