While the world teeters on the brink, we’ve got a new radical Speaker of the House, a shooter on the loose in Maine, and Israel appears ready to strike in Gaza. Now is definitely a time to stay vigilant.
And we know the weekend is a good time to get away from the pressures of the week, but with everything going on in the world, now is not the time to check out. Now is not the time to look away. It's the time to do more. 
So here’s a bonus episode to start your weekend off with an extra dose of the Righteous Media Righteous Media 5 Is: independence, integrity, information, inspiration and impact. We’re going to need them now more than ever.
