The story of Michael Kent and Tiffany Whittier is inspirational all by itself - a black, female parole officer is assigned to a white supremacist parolee, and their interactions causes Michael to turn his life around. However, it is only when you go deeper, to get to to the story behind the story, that you find the true riches that come, not only from their story, but from your own.

In this episode, we look at the highlights of the story of Michael and Tiffany, all the while looking into our own heart and our story, and asking "why? what makes my story so special?"

If there is one thing that is true, it is that good food brings people together. And not just around a table - Good food unites generations, passing down recipes and traditions from parents to children. It also allows friends to share their creations with their loved ones, whether around a table, or through the medium of social media.

In this episode of Perpetual Good, we continue our conversation with Claude Ellis IV, Founder of BDF Catering and Executive Chef at The Olde Pink House, Savanna Georgia, to hear about his journey into the fantastic world of good food.

Be it large gatherings celebrating traditions and cultures, families gathered for a backyard barbeque, or good friends meeting to catch up, you can pretty much count on there being good food.

Many of us tinker in the kitchen with the same passion as professionals, desiring to deliver a culinary experience to our family and friends, while others take it a step further and turn their passion into their profession.

In this episode of Perpetual Good, we go on the road, back to our home town to talk to Claude Ellis IV, Founder of BDF Catering and Executive Chef at The Olde Pink House, Savanna Georgia, to hear about his journey into the fantastic world of good food.

Have you ever looked back at your life and thought, "if only I had more time", or "if only that one thing hadn't happened, I would have fulfilled my dream"? Delays, prohibitions, jobs, having kids, etc., all valid reasons why things get placed on the back burner, or get locked away, never to be considered again. There is a proverb that says, "delayed hope makes the heart sick, but fulfilled desire is a tree of life." Delayed and unfulfilled dreams, or circumstances that prevent us from fulfilling who we really are can have a profoundly negative affect on us.

What if I told you that neither time nor circumstance are powerful enough to stop us from fulfilling our dreams? While the end result may look different than we originally pictured it, as long as we hold onto those desires, there is a possibility for them to happen.

In this episode of Perpetual Good, we will look at 2 people who defied both time and circumstance to see the fulfillment of what was in their heart:

• Angela Alvarez, the most recent winner of the best new artist category at the Latin Grammy's, at 95 years old
• Jason Wang, who overcame a past marred by bad decisions and prison to create FreeWorld, an organization who helps former inmates escape the cycle of prison by providing training and employment with respect and dignity.
