The Truth Prescription

Good People, can you believe it? It's been 1 year since we've been doing this Truth Prescription Podcast. Our first guest on April 11th, 2017 was Dr. Anthony Watkins and now we are 26 episodes in an entire year later. Season Two kicks off on Monday with Dr Chris Zaino. I wanted to take this time to thank you, listeners, for staying with me on this journey. This season, they'll be more stories, more laughter and of course, more truth. Dr G. 

We continue the two part special of our Jimmy Myers interview. It's an apt time to interview him as he approaches 50 years in broadcasting which is a milestone for any individual. This episode, we dive into: - His interviews with Ruben "Hurricane," Carter and other notorious individuals - Playing basketball with Barrack Obama - His journey in broadcasting and some of the challenges he faced. I loved this interview and sharing his story of truth with you. Here's the final chapter of the two-part series with my Uncle Jimmy.

This is one of the most exciting interviews on The Truth Prescription. Our next guest paved the way for other black sportscasters and people of colour in the industry. His innate ability to be able to talk truth with his guests, like Ruben "Hurricane," Carter, is what inspired other greats like Denzel Washington to want to play his role in the movie.  In this two-part Truth Prescription special, we chat with the legendary radio and television broadcaster Jimmy Myers. This episode, we dive into his journey in broadcasting from being an anchor at WBZ Boston, working for WWRTV where he won broadcaster of the year to move to FOX 25 to then hosting his own sports variety talk show called, "The Jimmy Myers Sports Exchange." A broadcast icon in his own right, but I have the unique privilege of calling this man my Godfather. Here's part one with Uncle Jimmy.

On this weeks Truth Prescription, it's a special episode. We take a break from the usual guests as Dr. Gathers gets into the conversations about the recent sexual assault claims against some of Hollywood's most powerful. In this rant, Dr G discusses the discrepancy in female decision makers in the entertainment industry and just how this lack of diversity is having a greater implication on the decision making process. Research has shown that in 2015/16, 10% of women were in positions were they had the decision making capacity as directors, producers, writers and ever lead characters. He addresses the systematic issues by having a structure that is so male predominated. From a clinical perspective, he discusses how the perpetrators can be helped.
