During the 2022 Southern Baptist Convention, leaders within the Southern Baptist churches released a 205 page list of alleged sexual predators that spans 20 years. More than 700 cases of alleged sexual abuse were documented from 2000 to 2019, but the list was hidden from the proper authorities. Even though the alleged abuse was known by church officials, the list was still kept hidden. Because of the secrecy, more children became victims of sexual abuse.

Tune in to hear what Joe & Pat have to say.

​Fred "FJ" Sweet is a serial entrepreneur whose fundamental philosophy is to monetize his passions. He enjoys world traveling, which exposes him to other cultures and ways of doing things. This  allows him to gain new experience and life lessons, that have served to propel him in his business and interpersonal endeavors. 

Education:
His early childhood education began in Tallahassee at FAMU DRS and he later went on to graduate from James S. Rickard High. After high school he attended his top choice institutuion of higher education, Florida A&M University.
Initially he sought to pursue a degree  in architecture, but found it too subjective and decided to study at FAMU-FSU College  of engineering. After finishing in 2006 he went on to work with engineering firms in Tallahassee until the recession of 2008.

Introduction to entrepreneurship:
After working for a couple local engineering firms he became a contactor. After years of creating plans for projects that range from house foundations in Southwood  to  drainage and parking of FAMU DRS, he was discontent  with receiving a few dollars per hour for projects that generated thousands. So, he decided to contact his services instead of working as an employee.

The need to Diversify:
Becoming a Civil Engineering contractor in  2008 and facing a national  recession, he was forced to find a new field of work. After not receiving thousands in pay for several projects  due to the clape of the housing market, he looked to create multiple streams of income so that he would not find himself in  such a financial situation again. This was the genesis to the multitude of companies, businesses, and projects that he now oversees today.

Friday is dedicated towards adults, Saturday the youth, and Sunday is closed out with a community pool party/cookout.  

From here Link Up Tally Inc has hosted numerous events from resource and career fairs, food and 
clothing giveaways, to community parties for the youth. Currently, Link Up Tally Inc has started a full curriculum afterschool program for youth grades k-12. This is a culturally based educational program geared to build awareness and understanding of one’s individual self, culture and history, critical thinking, economics, financial literacy, and generational wealth building. The goal is to simply create a haven and atmosphere of greatness. Link Up Tally Inc has much more to come because the vision for community wellness is an ever-growing task.  
As the saying goes “It takes a Village to Raise a Child” we’re building that village, so let’s Link Up!!!

This week on the Freedom Train Podcast Series, Joe and Pat tackle the task of choosing polyamory or monogamy. They react to a video by YouTube creators Jubilee, where two adults are asking children ages 5,10,12, what they think about polyamory and monogamy, and which would they choose.

This week family, we have a good one. Joe and Pat react to the latest song and music video by Jamaican Dancehall singer Shenseea. First there was the WAP, now we have to "Lick" it.

This week on the Freedom Train Podcast, Joseph sits down with Mr. Terrance L. Barber. Mr. Barber is running for Leon County Commission District 1. We get to learn more about Mr. Barber, how he has contributed to the economic growth of Tallahassee, FL, and why he chose to run for Leon County Commission District 1. 

I grew up right here in Leon County. I watched my late mother dedicate 42 years of her life working for the county before she passed on. Her life inspired me to continue the work to make our community better. My father was an entrepreneur, which taught me the importance and value of owning your own business. From job creation to charitable giving, I’ve seen what prosperous businesses can do with a fair chance to succeed in our local marketplace. But, for too long, the needs of our community have been neglected as I’ve witnessed a district slowly transform into something other than the affluent sector I once knew. It is my commitment to make the economic development of our district a priority to decision-makers — and no longer an afterthought.
