Getting Personal About Death, Grief, and Mental Health
Bourbon Beer & Bold Conversations Podcast
My podcast partner, Clayton Sinclair III, died about 30 days ago. I'm still processing this loss, as many are. Since this is happening within Mental Health Awareness Month, this episode is about losing someone close and the mental illness that can arise. I'm sharing in hopes that others who struggle with grief and perhaps depreciation might benefit from hearing my story. This is incredibly personal for me as a white man since the rate of suicide is highest in middle-aged white men. In 2021, men died by suicide 3.90x more than women.

White Men Doing Their Part in DE&I
Bourbon Beer & Bold Conversations Podcast
Developing white men as allies for DE&I is a bold and courageous approach to taking change to the next level. It's good for white men to improve their leadership effectiveness, it's good for Outsider group members (BIPOC and women) to have some of the burdens lifted, and it's good for companies, communities, and society. Real change only happens if influential white male leaders fully engage and are on board with DE&I values and goals. The best way to capitalize on white males' power and influence is to give them a meaningful role and purpose in the diversity work.
