Better America

By The OT Dad

The way that we raise our children and treat our adults in America just doesn’t seem to be working. Americans agree that this country has its share of problems. But the failings of our nation have become the default conversation in America. We need fewer complaints and more solutions. This nation needs people with answers on how to improve our society. These are their visions, ideas, and plans. This is the blueprint for a ‘Better America’, let’s build it together!

Trailer - 'Better America' Podcast

My name is Billy Hatridge. I am a therapist, pastor, and blogger over at theotdad.com. In my work as both an OT and preacher, I have discovered that a majority of the issues I address in both my clients and congregation can be traced back to societal issues. The way that we raise our children and treat our adults in America just doesn’t seem to be working.
And that’s something Americans agree with. That this country has its share of problems. But that’s part of the issue, our society has become ‘problem-focused’. The failings of our nation have become the default conversation in America’s homes, communities, and workplaces. But we don’t need more complaints, criticism, or protests. America needs solutions. This nation needs people with answers on how to improve our society.
So, I started looking for these people. And we’ve sat down and have had conversations on how to truly improve elements of our society. These are their visions, ideas, and plans. This is the blueprint for a ‘Better America’, let’s build it together!
