Tune in for a Thought-Provoking Episode on Autism Awareness

by Billy Dees, posted in Media, Podcast, Social Media

We’re excited to invite you to a compelling episode of the Billy Dees Podcast, titled, “A Discussion About Autism in the Wake of RFKjr’s Press Conference.”

Join host Billy Dees, along with our insightful guest co-host Chris Weekly, an advocate for autism awareness, as we dive deep into the recent comments made by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on autism—comments that have ignited a great deal of conversation across various platforms.

Chris shares personal experiences with autism and sheds light on the genetic aspects of the condition. If you’ve ever wondered about the different facets of autism—from the barely noticeable to more pronounced challenges—this episode unpacks it all in a thoughtful manner.

 We believe that many brilliant minds in underrepresented communities might be going unnoticed due to misdiagnosis. We’ll discuss how better understanding can unlock potential and innovation.

Learn how the language surrounding autism impacts public perception, and why it’s essential for society to develop a deeper understanding—not just of autism, but of individuals who live with it.

This episode also tackles the misconceptions around terms like “epidemic,” and what that means for those affected by autism and their families. We explore why people fear certain terminology, and how we can foster a more supportive environment for everyone.

If you are as passionate about making a difference in understanding autism or simply curious about the complexities of neurodevelopmental conditions, you won’t want to miss this conversation. Tune in to hear all this and more, as we offer a sane discussion exploring both sides of RFKjr’s remarks —because that’s what good dialogue is all about!

Join us as we work together to cultivate understanding, empathy, and awareness. Your listenership is more than numbers; it’s about creating a community that thrives on knowledge and kindness.

Thank you, and we can’t wait for you to join us in this important conversation!

Branding Candidates for 2024 – Do You Like Coke or Pepsi?

by Billy Dees, posted in Media, Podcast

In this episode, we dive into the Biden-Trump debate and the RFK Jr. campaign, focusing on the branding and marketing aspects rather than the debate content itself. We contrast Biden’s weaker brand with Trump’s stronger one, underscoring the critical role branding plays in politics.

We also explore the candidacy of RFK Jr. as a new and revitalized contender, highlighting the necessity of a robust brand to captivate voters. RFK Jr. has the opportunity to leverage dissatisfaction with both Biden and Trump to enhance his brand and attract support.

Our discussion emphasizes the importance of branding in politics and the need for candidates to market themselves effectively to voters. Produced in the aftermath of the Biden-Trump debate, this episode examines the implications of branding on political campaigns.

Karen Lorre

On this episode, Karen Lorre and I discuss various topics. We touch on Karen’s background as a coach and her work in helping people align their minds and bodies with their goals. We also discuss Karen’s career as an actress, and the changes in social media, particularly Twitter (X), and the issue of censorship. Our focus, however, is shedding light on RFK’s campaign, the minimal mainstream media coverage, and RFK’s lack of Secret Service protection during his presidential campaign.

Karen Lorre discusses her acquaintance with RFK for the past 33 years, highlighting his integrity, dedication to fighting for people’s rights, and his support for the Constitution and Bill of Rights. She criticizes both Trump and Biden for violating the Bill of Rights during the lockdown and emphasizes the importance of individual rights and freedom of information. I agree with Lorre’s assessment of RFKjr and I express my excitement about RFK’s rising popularity in the polls.
