An Interview
with Soft White Underbelly:
Serving By Witnessing

This is a great description of what Mark Laita does . . . I started noticing how he was treating the Epstein victims. We need people who listen so we get over our grief. Mark is witnessing for so many. Here Seano describes how Mark works really well.
“I’m Seano. Welcome back to The Seano Show, and I believe the ultimate drug of choice is service and kindness.
“My guest tonight has been serving in a different way by witnessing.
“He sits people down on a simple stool. No bells, no makeup, no spin, and he gives him something the world rarely does.
“Time, attention, and respect.
“Soft White Underbelly is not a show. It’s a mirror.
“It asks us to see addiction, poverty, trafficking, mental health, not as headlines, but as human beings with names.
“Mark to thank you, brother, for making space for stories that save lives. Let’s talk about the craft, the care, and the cost of telling the truth, brother.”
Mark treats everyone equally. He says that:
“All I’m doing is honouring people.”
Mark: “Forgiveness is a big deal. It’s important. Forgiveness is everything.
“Why is forgiveness everything? Because like if you want your life to be better, right?
“You don’t want to hold anger against me if you’re angry at me. It’s not not going to help you to be angry at me.
“You got to figure out why I did something to you that that is unsavory or just uncool.
“And once you understand why I did what I did, you are going to forgive me.
“That’s going to give peace to you. It’s going to give peace to me.
“It gives me an opportunity to heal and do the right thing next time. and you are going to be able to go to bed with with a clear conscience and just have peace in your in your life.”
