Episode 3: Dr. Anderson Campbell - Societal Changes from a Christian Perspective
In this episode, I speak with Dr. Anderson Campbell, a learning and development consultant with a background as a college professor in higher education. He holds a doctorate in Leadership and Global Perspectives, a Master of Arts in practical theology, and a Bachelor of Arts in Theater.
He’s a masterful storyteller and we dive deeply into thought-provoking discussions about how White American Christians have contributed to the issues of racism, opportunities for knowledge growth, and how the Christian community can assist in helping heal our nation moving forward.
Both his background and his philosophies are amazing and he is truly living a life that is Off the Curriculum.

OTC Special Edition: Racism in America, Part 1 - DeLeon Rich
With global attention directed towards the USA, sparked by the unfortunate and unnecessary death of George Floyd, stories of prejudice and discrimination are coming to light. Hopefully, these voices will be heard and changes will be made, directing our future towards treating others respectfully and equally, regardless of the color of our skin.
One such story is DeLeon Rich, a combat veteran and Army Officer who served a country that he has chosen to not return. As many celebrities and individuals have outspokenly stated that they would leave the US if changes do not occur, DeLeon did just that. In Part 1 of this Special Edition, 2 part episode of OTC, DeLeon discusses his past, growing up in inner-city Baltimore, his encounters with police, and the influence of his caring and protective mother.

Episode 01: Tyler Theme - Never Judge a Book by it's Cover
Tyler is one of the most interesting people I have ever met! I'm sure excited to give him an opportunity to share his story and his philosophies with others. He has such amazing insight, but it didn't come easy. Tyler had not just one... not two... but THREE near-death experiences. He discusses one event and how it has led to a drastic change in how he lives. His insight into diet, exercise, living alcohol-free, and being connected and impactful to others is truly inspiring. He is a great example of living a life off the curriculum.
