About this listen

 The Collective Perspective Podcast is on a mission to bring together diversity in thoughts to create real and meaningful progress.

We serve as a platform to bridge divides and unite communities in search of common ground. We strive for truth and understanding in controversial topics and believe that fact-based research and respectful dialogue will inspire others to come together as one collective voice working towards compromise and solutions rather than division and conflict. So join us in the middle and together, we can make progress for a brighter future!© 2022 MTS JAX FM Politics & Government Social Sciences

    Episode 65: The Habit Equation: "Good, Bad, and Sinful"
    Dec 17 2025

    In this episode of The Collective Perspective, Jeff and Travis unpack the powerful patterns that shape our lives—our habits. From morning routines to hidden vices, we explore how habits can build character or quietly break it down. What makes a habit good, bad, or even sinful? And how do we retrain our minds and actions to reflect who we truly want to be? This conversation dives deep into personal discipline, spiritual awareness, and the small choices that lead to lasting transformation.

  • Episode 64: The Tolerance Paradox. "Should we Tolerate the Intolerant?"

    Episode 64: The Tolerance Paradox. "Should we Tolerate the Intolerant?"
    Dec 3 2025

    In this episode of The Collective Perspective, Travis and Jeff dive into the Paradox of Tolerance—the idea that a society that is too tolerant may eventually enable intolerance to take over.

    We unpack:

    • What the paradox really means (and what it doesn’t).

    • Where tolerance ends and self-preservation begins.

    • Why it’s not about shutting people down, but about protecting healthy dialogue.

    • Real-world examples of tolerance being tested today.

    The conversation is honest, grounded, and sometimes funny but always focused on building stronger communities. If you’ve ever asked yourself: “Do we really have to accept everything in the name of tolerance?” this episode is for you.

  • Episode: 63 Power vs Control: Knowing the Difference

    Episode: 63 Power vs Control: Knowing the Difference
    Nov 19 2025

    Power and control aren’t the same thing — but they get confused all the time. In this episode, Jeff and Travis unpack what it really means to walk in power versus needing to be in control.

    From leadership and parenting to personal boundaries and traffic lights, the conversation turns real as the guys share stories of learning when to stand firm and when to let go. It’s about inner strength, quiet leadership, and realizing that force isn’t always a sign of power — sometimes, it’s a sign of fear. This one’s for anyone who’s ever tried to grip too tight, or had to learn the hard way that control is an illusion. • power • control • leadership • self-awareness • emotional maturity • ego • personal growth • relationships • boundaries • letting go Chapters
