Episode 87 - Avery Okamura, Kevin Worden, and James Allen (One Armed Joey)
The guest for episode 87 of The Keep It Posi Podcast is Avery Okamura, Kevin Worden, and James Allen of the punk rock trio, One Armed Joey! Late last month, the band released their new album, Happiness, To Me, via Sell The Heart Records! In this episode, the band and I talked about the album, how they all became friends through music in middle school, Green Day, and more! If you’re a fan of MXPX, Green Day, and/or Allister, you must give One Armed Joey a listen! If you like what you hear, please head on over to selltheheartrecords.bandcamp.com to purchase Happiness, To Me.
This week, The Posi Spotlight is focused on Thorn. Thorn was founded in 2012 by Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore when they learned about the issue of child sex trafficking from a documentary highlighting what was happening to children in Cambodia. They describe it as this moment where you learn something about the world that you can’t un-know. As they started learning more, they realized that it is just as prolific of a problem in the United States as it is overseas. The technology exists to help kids, but simply isn’t being used. Thorn builds powerful products, leads new programs, maintains essential resources, and develops awareness campaigns to attack the issue from all sides. Technology must be part of the solution. To learn more or make a donation to Thorn, you can visit thorn.org.
