31:05Vicki Sokolik refuses to be an Ostrich. Her son brought to her attention the crisis of unhoused youth — youth unhoused, not living with a parent/guardian, and not in foster care — in America, and she has been fighting to support this vulnerable population every since. Most active in Tampa Bay, Florida, Vicki is the founder and CEO of the nonprofit Starting Right, Now, which removes barriers for unaccompanied homeless youth to cultivate long-term well-being and self-sufficiency. She is also the author of the new book, “If You See Them: Young, Unhoused, and Alone in America.” Vicki Sokolik joined host Jay Ruderman to discuss the many ways unhoused youth fall through the cracks in our society, how her organization helps them, and also how to build trust with people who could use your help.

Ever make a right decision but the outcome seemed to be "wrong?" When making decisions related to food there is a way to avoid this scenario. A technique employed by a reportedly unattractive Greek man used it so well he was eventually executed for it. Sounds strange doesn't it? What is that technique? Sensei uses it in this deeply contemplative episode. Don't worry the outcome will be good...hopefully. Sensei used it on himself and is still here to talk about it.
