Forbidden Conversations and a Request

You may have noticed—but I’m making it official—I have recently launched the Forbidden Conversations video series and it’s going full steam ahead, with some fantastic guests coming up. I’ve been busy filming some great episodes on all sorts of topics and I’m truly excited to share them with you all in the weeks ahead.

The idea is to invite fascinating people to discuss topics that don't always get mainstream attention or are a bit more tricky (eg. controversial to talk about) and address them through civil discourse and nuanced exploration. (Wish me luck!)

I’m still playing around with the concept, and while most of these conversations will be 1:1, I’m also hoping to moderate a few that will have multiple speakers representing an assortment of points of views on different issues so that we can more fully explore them.

I’ll, of course, also keep writing.

That said, I’m doing all of this using the little free time I have and I would love to be able to dedicate more of it to these projects as I truly believe that facilitating healthy conversations, especially about difficult or useful topics, is critical.

If you’d like to support my work, here are some ways:

• Subscribe to my YouTube Channel (it’s free, but if I get enough subscribers, eventually I’ll be able to monetize it—at least that’s the dream)

• Share my Substack & YouTube Channel with your friends, so that I can grow the Random Minds community

• Like, Comment, and Share — It might be a cliche, but it really does help.

If you have the financial means/desire…

• For a one-time donation in any amount, consider ‘buying me a coffee.’ ☕️

• You can also become a founding member, monthly subscriber, or annual subscriber.

As always, for being a reader,

THANK YOU!
