The Open Run With Will Strickland

Episode 223 – Engagement Farming

We all join things to fit in… belong.

It could be the band, chess team, the military or a book club, but we join to be a part of something greater than ourselves.

This week, a new champion will be crowned in The Association, a basketball team rooted in teamwork making the dream work.

There will also be 59 young men, looking to be chosen to fulfill their dreams of belonging to a brotherhood that lasts for life.

It won’t be a drive-by, empty calorie, foul merchant activation for those who find their validation in The Attention Economy.

It will be so much more…

It will mean much more as well.

Soul Food.

Never Fast Food.

News.

Views.

Truths.
