I don’t know which was more impactful for me, the fact that I identify so much with Benny as a black male massage therapist who has strived to overcome implicit bias in my neck of the woods, or the sad fact that he was never mentioned in massage school.

Thank you for creating relevant and interesting podcasts. In this time of COVID-19, getting to be introduced to respected leaders in the field is an exciting opportunity. I'm glad to get to learn more about my "heros", educators, and more or less "idols" in the profession. Thank you!
