DEAR Time!: Recent Episodes
Michael Dunlap
DEAR stands for 'Drop Everything and Read' - in grade school, we had DEAR time every day for the last 30 minutes to promote the importance of reading every day. I haven't read every day since :(
Reading makes us smarter! In this Podcast, I will read books chapter by chapter. We need to read more as a culture and frankly, I myself need to read more - this podcast is my accoutabiliabuddy but you're welcome to join the fun, growth, and learning!
This episode is a reading of the "The Growth Equation" email newsletter. These are quick, insightful reads that are extremely high ROI!
If you are listening I encourage you to follow along (and/or SUPPORT the work)! Check out The Growth Equation here -> https://thegrowtheq.com/

Our first book is the 1619 Project, created by Nikole Hannah-Jones and the New York Times. This project/book has been at the center of controversy since its publication due to those who would see African/Black history erased from memory. 1. that will NEVER happen and 2. It is important for the next generations to have knowledge of all history if they are truly to progress our societies and make the world a better place. There is no American history without African and Black history, that is a fact. Racial injustice is a foundation, and still a major part of our society, that is a fact.
This episode is the reading of the Preface: Origins, written by NHJ

My name is Michael Dunlap and I am the host/voice of DEAR Time. DEAR stands for 'Drop Everything and Read.' Our country as a whole does not read enough, myself included - this podcast is really just a way to hold myself accountable as I try to read more, a lot more.
