"Picture This Picture That" Outro

I share a deeply personal poem, "Picture, this Picture that," inspired by my recent trip to the National Center for Civil and Human Rights in Atlanta. My wife and I were profoundly moved by the stories of resilience and courage, especially that of six-year-old Ruby Bridges, who faced unimaginable adversity just to go to school. Her bravery and the broader struggles of African-Americans during the civil rights era prompted me to create something meaningful that I couldn't wait to share with you.

We'll also touch base on what's coming next for the podcast, including a few more insightful interviews and some best-of episodes to wrap up the year. As always, your support means the world to me.

This was something that was inspired by a recent trip me and my wife got to do. I haven't been doing a lot of weddings this summer, so I've been able to actually go to the museums that I've wanted to go to since we moved here and Atlanta is filled with so much great history and so many great places to go and we actually got our chance to go over to the National Center for Civil and Human Rights over there, near you know, World Cocacola, in the aquarium here in atlanta. I saw all of the history and the different things that we went through as african-americans and I was really just. I've always been touched by the story of rudy bridges, but it really just baffles me when you sit down and you truly think about our history and how people were treated and how crazy some of the things these people were exposed to was this six-year-old who you know is just a kid going to school, but to have the National guard take her to school and to still want to go. I would never want to go back to that place it was. It was something that just really struck a chord.

So I wrote this poem and I wanted to share it. I had a lot of not a lot. I have a couple more interviews for the year two, three more, and then there's going to be best of episodes after that and so I wanted to share something that was a little different not too long, something a little more creative and make you think.
