Recent events and public discourse have resurfaced painful reminders of how dehumanization and racism continue to show up in our society. For many—especially within the Black community—these moments are not abstract. They are personal, historical, and heavy.

In this timely conversation, I sit down with Loki Mulholland, filmmaker, activist, and son of legendary civil rights worker Joan Trumpauer Mulholland.

Rather than reacting with outrage alone, this episode invites us to pause and ask deeper questions:

How do we respond to racism without losing our humanity?

What does courage look like in moments of division?

What responsibility do everyday people have in shaping a more just future?

Loki shares powerful lessons from his mother’s life—lessons rooted in moral clarity, quiet bravery, and sustained action. This is not a conversation about politics. It’s a conversation about people, principles, and personal responsibility.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, angry, discouraged, or unsure of how to move forward, this episode offers something different:

context, grounding, and a path toward meaningful action.

🕊️ This is an invitation to listen.

🕊️ To reflect.

🕊️ And to choose courage—right where you are.

If you’ve ever felt stuck—even though you’re disciplined, capable, and driven—this conversation is for you.

In this episode of Good Talk with Tiffany Santana, Tiffany sits down with Greggy Amisial, Chief Activating Officer and co-founder of Activating YoU, for a powerful conversation about momentum, clarity, and why focus itself can sometimes be the problem.

Greggy challenges the idea that success only follows one narrow path. He introduces a fresh way of thinking about passion, priorities, habits, and performance—especially for high achievers who are good at many things but feel frustrated or boxed in.

In this episode, we talk about:

Why high achievers often feel stuck even when they’re doing “all the right things”

How opening your “aperture” creates more pathways to purpose

Why not everything deserves 100% of your energy

The difference between quitting and pivoting

How habits, systems, and momentum work together

What it really means to “run the play” long enough to see results

This is an honest, encouraging, and practical conversation for anyone navigating transition, pressure, or the tension between potential and fulfillment.

Episode Description

What does it really take to grow a business from 3 employees to 400 in just 5 years—without losing your values, your faith, or your humanity?

In this powerful episode of Good Talk with Tiffany Santana, I sit down with Will Childers, a home-care entrepreneur who took a leap of faith, launched his business during a global shutdown, and built one of the fastest-growing care agencies in his region—by putting people first.

We talk about servant leadership, franchising as a growth strategy, faith in business, caring for caregivers, and why success doesn’t have to come at the expense of compassion. This conversation is for entrepreneurs, leaders, caregivers, and anyone wondering how to build something meaningful that truly serves others.
