Apology in a racially charged world: Amy Porterfield reveals what happened on the inside

In my blog #9, I wrote about Amy Porterfield, an online marketing guru and a top-flight podcaster. Amy went through a very public and painful learning experience following the murder of George Floyd. I invited her to this interview for her perspective on the journey from obliviousness to learning and growth. Here she demonstrates recovery from mistakes as we navigate the path of racial understanding.

The situation was made even more painful because of her status and sense of personal responsibility. Amy has been designated by Forbes as one of the top 50 social media power influencers. According to her website, Amy has a following of 250,000 people and a seven-figure business.

I was a witness to the situation because she sends out regular emails about online course development, and I am one of her followers.  I watched the drama unfold, email by email.  In blog #9 (Anatomy of an Apology in a Racially Charged World: What We Can Learn from Amy Porterfield) , I wrote about the situation from my perspective reading those emails.

This is my interview with Amy where she reveals her side of the story.
