Show Notes

When you’ve known someone as a child, you sometimes forget that they evolve and grow. My experience reconnecting after 35 years, with Ralph, a retired police officer, Christian pastor, author, radio personality and public speaker, is that he has led an interesting and accomplished life. First and foremost, he’s a storyteller and a thinker, someone who believes in the power of people to do good and to make the world a better place. In this podcast, he talks about assuming the mantle of leadership as a black man and as a mentor to people in his community, why law enforcement is a sacred responsibility and how to connect with people different than yourself. But his insights go quite a bit deeper into issues like integrity, friendship, religion, and trust. In the end, the kid I knew when we won a baseball championship in the 1980s has become the ultimate coach and teammate for a universe of other people and that is a conversation worth listening to.

What is Allies?

Allies is a podcast that brings together people of diverse backgrounds, ethnicities and experience to share their stories of success, of failure and of forging their paths in life. We dive head first into tough issues like race, privilege and justice to find the similarities and differences among us that make life interesting and challenging. It’s awkward, honest and real, the kind of conversations we need now more than ever.
