"This show should be a microcosm of life." Channing Crowder  In case you didn’t know- We are saying it now...It's ok to have different opinions and it's ok to not always agree. It’s not about right and wrong, it’s about sharing perspectives, listening to others and bringing balance to conversation, it’s called life.  Back together for a much needed 3 man Pivot- Ryan, Channing and Fred are addressing the latest social media storm, tackling latest topics, responding to backlash, going beyond sports headlines and have deeper discussions on importance of loyalty in a world of uncertainty and falsity. NBA returns, and so did Michael Jordan. The expectations of greatness from the greatest are set high, and we talk about why. When is enough, enough? The LeBron cycle continues, Stephen A apologizes, finally a side of Russell Wilson we’ve never seen before, is this the Russ Channing’s been waiting on?  Growing pressure and demands on people and platforms is at an all-time high. Ryan gets into the responsibility that comes with having a voice and differentiating between our thoughts and opinions vs others who come on our show.  The guys reflect on another NFL life lost too soon with Doug Martin passing, the mental and physical health struggles after the game is over, struggles of letting go and realization that life is shorter than we think.  The AI craze and chatpgt running point on all our lives, how do we navigate the positives while sorting through the really bad that comes with this technology. Fred loves it, Ryan and Channing not so much. It’s creating a world of fake news and public figures to be alert and on edge, what’s the future hold?  Don't forget to comment, like and hit the subscribe button and stay up to date on guests and stories- we love hearing from you Pivot family, the good and the bad!
