Episode Details

Conan Harris, prolific philanthropist and community organizer, joins host Haywood Fennel in a candid and edifying episode of The Other Page Radio. A conversation well overdue among peers conveys a narrative of humble beginnings turned victories. No stranger to contributing to the community, Conan clarifies the crossroads he ventures in his commitment to uplift those that may find themselves in lack of direction. We hear of his journey growing up in a single-parent household to developing his mission to guide inner city youths. Harris shares insights like: forgiveness and its role in personal growth, finding direction as we change the way we think, the value of knowing you belong and how it opens doors, the power of love as a foundation and its gift of empowerment, among others. Looking forward, the focus on possibility is provided by the task of setting the example. Haywood and Conan lead their lives by this. Understanding help as support for (and from) others, we are exposed to their visions of community growth through hospitality and tourism and the opportunities present for the local economy, economic development as a benefactor to the members of the community, the importance of politics to building up the community and giving back to the community through real estate. As The Other Page Radio offers us another look on life and the contributions veterans provide this episode offers up tomes on the contributions a life explored provides.
