WKLY Podcast

In this episode of WKLY, we are tackling and important subject - can we be friends (and even great friends!) with people who have different ideas than we do? Eric Davis joins me for a great conversation on friendship, politics, and how we can be friends in this polarizing world.

“Rejection does not have to be Radical to be Real.” That’s the theme of the podcast today. If you want to hear the whole conversation about the Rejection, you can find the whole message on New Collective Church’s podcast (just search for New Collective Church wherever you find your podcasts. The message is from May 26th).

On this episode of WKLY, we look at the recent news from Facebook. Recently, several stories released that some of the “research” apps were paying users $20 a month to gain root access to their mobile devices. In the spirit of Yearly Themes (and namely awareness as James’ theme) we tackle the issue of privacy and how we can respond to the world around us when we are aware of these issues. You can interact with the podcast on twitter (probably not checking FB too often after this episode) at @WKLY_Pod or with James, @jameseaton.

Technology can be a great tool to help you reach your goals. It can also be a time-sucking monster that eats away at your productivity and connection with other human life. In this episode of WKLY, we talk about the positive side of technology (epically the Apple Watch) and how we can use the tools we have to create some guardrails to keep us on track to meet our 2019 goals.
