Allies is a podcast that brings together people of diverse backgrounds, ethnicities and experience to share their stories of success, of failure and of forging their paths in life. We dive head first into tough issues like race, privilege and justice to find the similarities and differences among us that make life interesting and challenging. It’s awkward, honest and real, the kind of conversations we need now more than ever.

To our loyal listeners: It is with sad but fulfilled hearts that we tell you that after an amazing and inspiring one-year run, we are ending the Allies podcast. Shortly after recording this episode, we both found unique and exciting new business ventures and relationships, opportunities for us to pursue new socially-focused projects.
We are grateful to our wonderful guests for sharing their unique and compelling life stories with us. We hope that through the Allies podcast, some of you have been inspired, challenged or prodded to look at the world a little differently. Who knows? Maybe you reached out to another person seeking a larger purpose, or took the time to dive into that gray area between black and white.
But more than anything, we hope you enjoyed these talks.
They weren’t formal or fancy. They were, as we intended, kitchen table talks. But to us, some of the best talks in life happen at kitchen tables, on patios or decks, in plastic chairs with a cup of coffee, a beer or a glass of wine. With family. With friends. With Allies.
Thanks for listening.

Bored? Wondering what to listen to as you while away the hours at the beach or at the cabin? Then join Carmen and Anthony for the Allies Podcast Summer of Fun Hiatus episode (or Sumfuntus as we never call it). We take a good look back, a quick glance forward and two rapid side to side exchanges on the 28 podcasts we did over the course of these 365 days. Fascinating? Funny? Frightening? Familiar? Yes all of that and several other F words.
If you only listen to one podcast this year then this podcast should not be it. But if you listen to two or three or five, then still, probably not worth it. But if you’re at six or higher, it’s a gem. Not a diamond. More like an opal.
Enjoy your summer. We’ll see you in the fall.

Steven Quigley
Author, entrepreneur, traveller Steven Quigley knows a thing or two about loving life to its fullest extent. Not the kind of guy to take no for an answer, Quigley took a devastating accident that left him in a wheelchair and through tenacity, intelligence and courage turned it into inspiration. His story is less about the accident and more about the choice to never let a setback limit your life. A great conversation with an idea man who makes about as many fast segues as I’ve ever experienced as an interviewer. A good time.

Selwyn Jones - Uncle of George Floyd
When Selwyn Jones found himself thrust into the public spotlight following the murder of his nephew George Floyd, he had a choice to make. Weather the storm and go back to his old life, or take up the fight for equality and justice in the name of his nephew. He chose the latter. As an athlete, entrepreneur and father, Selwyn understands the value of hard work and perseverance. In his new role as advocate and ally, he says his job is to converse, communicate and educate wherever and however he can. We hope you will join us to learn more about this determined and interesting man, the life of his nephew and what comes next following the murder conviction.
