Raising Our Voices for Change with Garrain Jones | Relationships

In this episode, we’re excited to be joined by a return guest, Garrain Jones! Last time he was on the podcast, we talked a lot about change. He has been through such an incredible life journey and we all have so much we can learn from how he has persevered.

Garrain is a Transformation Coach, speaker, and the author of the incredible new book, Change Your Mindset, Change Your Life: Lessons of Love, Leadership and Transformation. He travels around the world to share his inspirational story and encourage others to “change your mindset, change your life,” through his profound words of wisdom.

In our conversation with Garrain today, we tackle a completely different topic and aspect of his life: race and racism. As always, this is a deep, important conversation. We talk about the responsibilities we have as citizens of this country; how we can make real, lasting change; and how we can stay positive and creative even with all of these stressors.

If you’ve listened to our previous episode with Garrain, you know that he does not hold back! His honesty, transparency, and rawness are palpable — and this episode is no exception.
