In this episode, we take a hard look at Portland’s ongoing decline and the complex challenges tied to its status as a sanctuary city. Once celebrated for its progressive values and vibrant culture, Portland is now grappling with a rise in homelessness, unchecked crime, and policies that critics argue lack accountability. We’ll examine how weak governance and a reluctance to enforce existing laws have created an environment where lawlessness can thrive. From encampments spreading across neighborhoods to residents feeling increasingly unsafe, this conversation explores the intersection of policy, responsibility, and the urgent need for real leadership.

In this episode, we dive into the world of continuing education and what it truly means to be a lifelong learner. From tackling new languages to setting ambitious personal goals, we explore how the pursuit of knowledge extends far beyond the classroom. We’ll also talk about the often-overlooked role of failure—how mistakes, setbacks, and wrong turns aren’t signs of weakness but powerful stepping stones toward growth. Join us as we uncover how continuing education can spark resilience, open new doors, and transform failure into fuel for empowerment.
