For the Thanksgiving holiday, I wanted to have a conversation that truly will feel like a family reunion. As stated in prior episodes, I am a proud Ball State University graduate. And on the journey when I found radio, I was able to meet an incredible individual, man, &amp; friend in "Jim Flamez" but is known professionally as Dr. Jarrod Nicholas Dortch.&nbsp;
Our conversation touches on so many various areas, but highlighted by:
<ul>
 <li>His experience at Ball State University</li>
 <li>Being a founder of the Ball State chapter of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity Incorporated</li>
 <li>His family &amp; their importance in his own life</li>
 <li>The value of education being a black male teacher</li>
 <li>Marrying education with the arts</li>
 <li>Finding his newest venture, Solful Gardens</li>
</ul>

Stay tuned in for another great episode of "What Do I Do Now?" coming up on Monday.&nbsp;

FROM.SCRATCH ft. Keith David

This isn't just a podcast, it's an honest &amp; open discussion centered around a single question, "What Do I Do Now?" From life changes in our personal lives to our career paths, we are going to be met with adversity, but how do we navigate through it? Through the various guests, I hope to bring more clarity on how we all can manage, maintain, even grow through difficult times.
