A Perfectly Imperfect Union: Reflecting on America 250 with Joshua Jones

The Whole Again Podcast: Mindfulness and Resilience through Kinstugi Wisdom airs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday with Pause Breathe Reflect Microdose Meditations, Growth Mindset and Mindfulness Tips, to help us transform our scars into healing and resilience.

And between May and October, I'm sharing a new series I'm calling: A Perfectly Imperfect Union. It's about connecting with every day folks as they reflect on America at 250. Conversations will air every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

On this episode of A Perfectly Imperfect Union, I travel to the Pelican State and connect with Joshua Jones, a rising senior studying marketing at LSU.

Joshua's take on America starts with persistence: the idea that progress means creating space in places never built with him in mind. He talks openly about being a young African American man navigating rooms that didn't always have room for him.

His Kintsugi wish for the country is education, the equitable kind that took him from community college to LSU, because he believes it's what teaches people to think critically, check their own bias, and actually hear each other again.

And his question for you and our next guest:

What advice would you give the Founding Fathers, knowing what America is dealing with today?
