Enough is enough. Something is not working. In this episode
of The YOU Effect, Nick and Roxane Cokas speak with expert Evan Feinberg, Executive Director of the Stand Together Foundation, who helps unpack what works and what doesn’t work in moving people out of their circumstances to a life of meaning and contribution.
San Francisco, alongside South Africa, has become one of the globe's leaders in homelessness, poverty, and drug addiction. It is obvious to anyone who wants to look, regardless of beliefs or background, that the way things are going and the way these issues have been approached for the past 20 years is not working.
Not a day goes by where we are not confronted with the sadness and helplessness of our environments. Personally, we’ve had direct relationships with dear friends struggling in all these areas and even contemplating suicide.
Are we in need of an ideological change?  It appears no matter what we read in the news or see on social media, whether in the USA, South Africa or other parts of the world, the sadness of poverty and homelessness and addiction is just getting worse. Nothing seems to be trending in the right direction.
How Sick Are You of Poverty, Homelessness and Addiction? Sick enough to make a change?
With the help of Evan Feinberg, discover solutions in this episode
of The YOU Effect.
