The Ugly Truth About The Girl Next Door
Conversation with actor Anthony Edwards and author Stephen Mills

In this episode, we have a conversation with Stephen Mills, author of Chosen: A Memoir of Stolen Boyhood and actor, producer and director Anthony Edwards who some will remember as Goose from the movie Top Gun or Dr. Greene from the television show ER.

We are grateful for the authenticity and courage of these men as they share their experiences of sexual abuse as boys.

Please join us as we discuss the long term impact of childhood sexual abuse, institutional coverups and the unwillingness of "bystanders" to take a stand.

Fear of the Podcast
In our last episode, we encouraged us all to be willing to be uncomfortable….to be uncommon. In this episode, we talk a bit about what it takes to be a person who makes a difference to the status quo or to an individual person. Spoiler alert….it does not include being MORE afraid of being called out on the podcast than failing to stand for the vulnerable.
