The War after the War is a lively military history and overview of Reconstruction that illuminates the new war fought immediately after the American Civil War. This Southern Civil War was distinct from the American Civil War and fought between southerners for control of state governments. In the South, African American and white unionists formed a successful biracial coalition that elected state and local officials. White supremacist insurrectionaries battled with these coalitions and won the Southern Civil War, successfully overthrowing democratically elected governments.

When a group of people gather together to generate ideas for solving a problem or achieving a goal, sometimes the best ideas are passed over. Worse, a problematic suggestion with far less likelihood of success may be selected instead. Why would a group dismiss an option that would be more effective? Leadership and communications expert John Daly has a straightforward answer: It wasn't sold to them as well. If the best idea is yours, how can you increase the chances that it gains the support of the group? In Advocacy: Championing Ideas and Influencing Others, Daly explains in full detail how to transform ideas into practice.

Saw a great post that for sure connects with me and maybe others too. Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) reminds us to keep this in mind: “I am slowly becoming the person I should’ve been a long time ago.” It’s a reminder to just keep going. Just keep trying. To not get down knowing that maybe we are not doing things we said we're going to do, wanted to do, promised to do, etc. Powerful stuff for me and maybe for you. I had to pull over in the car to record this as I was not home to do this. Thanks for listening. Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with ...

Just about everyone is looking to be a bit more happy in life and I am one of those people.

A cup of coffee, doing this podcast, spending time with my wife and family & friends, etc....

Saw a great post from Daniel Pink (@DanielPink) and it came from his Tuesday wisdom: “The World is changed by your example, not by your opinion.” - Paolo Coehlo. Yep.. so many people express their opinions on line super easy and certainly not the same way that they would say their thoughts to people face to face. But, we remember that opinions are like people’s backsides… everyone has one! Our actions stand stronger. What we do in life stands larger than only what we say. I know I need to remember this and do more about it for sure. How about you? Thanks for listening. ...

Saw an amazingly accurate post from Seek Wiser (@SeekWiser_) where this thought was shared: “You become unstoppable when you work on things people can’t take away from you.

Reading some things that help get my day started in a positive direction and allows me to try and continue to focus on my burn / purpose for getting things done and creating things to help others (along with myself.) An overwhelming feeling and ...
