The Other Page Radio

You can't change if you can't change your thinking. Haywood Fennell hosts fellow podcaster Gus Beverly, of Evolve And Resolve, who joins The Other Page Radio to share some words of encouragement with the audience. Gus tells us about his transition through trials with addiction to the evolution of being a creator for a program focused on helping youth overcome the struggles of modern society. The streets are learning grounds with experiences too large to bear for many but some learn to see through life's lessons and look inside to find the catalysts for change. That change requires trust that can be hard to find if you don't look in the right places, specially within ourselves. Gus Beverly and our host, Haywood Fennell, venture the path and let us know we are not alone in the battle for self-improvement. Clear through the noise on The Other Page Radio.
