BROTHERHOOD director, screenwriter, and composer Ross Boothe joins me on my podcast!
I attended the premiere, and this film stirred emotions I didn’t expect. Ross hits a home run with a powerful, music-driven story about what divides us, what unites us, and the America we can be.
No politics. No elected leaders. Just people. Us—and what it means to truly love our neighbor.
Listen to our conversation, then see BROTHERHOOD in a theater near you October 9. Bring someone. Spread the word. This movie deserves to be seen.

Success does not come from simply knowing what to do. It comes from developing the right thought, defining your purpose, and having the courage to put that thought into action—even when the action becomes uncomfortable.

Every life is shaped by the way we think, the choices we make, and what we ultimately choose to do with what we have learned.

Four men. Four journeys. One mission — to show that no matter where you begin, you have the power to rise.
