Book promoter Peter Marchese once said to me, "I love the idea that you can't tell the difference between a brilliant wine and a cheap one. The people picking up this book will be no different than you. Which means I need your everyday person questions. Experts talking about what experts know is the first step toward disconnection." Why wouldn't I want to share a conversation with an authentic scientist about who, what, where why and how this thing Coronavirus is. Two weeks into this journey and the only thing we're getting are cloudy press conferences and reports with no room for real people to ask questions. Rather than turning off the 5pm news what would happen if "real people" were invited into those areas of well planned out leaders running for office this November? Decision makers are only as smart as the person standing next to them reminding the politician to cover this and that and make sure the real questions aren't approached. Don't ask me to interview the politician. I want to see the Mother of three trying to home school her child on computers they barely know. I want to see the father who thought his career was a solid foundation and now getting back onto the workforce could land him at McDonalds taking orders. Thanks to Bill Sullivan for answering my "real person" questions.
