I feature a Non-profit Org to spread awareness. I share bookkeeping tips and stories from my life as a business owner. Inspiring other business owners by showing the wild hearts of entrepreneurs and how they cannot be tamed. And just to chat, laugh, and enjoy one another. Shireen approaches business and life, in general, through the lens of wanting to multiply the light in the world. Whether client, colleague, or friend, she has a special understanding of people. Separate from bookkeeping, her Friends From Wild Places podcast serves as a platform for connection where business owners can share their work and life experiences and even their wild hearts and passions in a safe space. The podcast also allows entrepreneurs to share about nonprofits that have special meaning for them.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-20T16:20:50.215830+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/friends-from-wild-places-5319610"},"episode":{"title":"Proportional Force","slug":"proportional-force","published_at":"2026-07-04T17:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/friends-from-wild-places-5319610/proportional-force","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/friends-from-wild-places-5319610","url":"https://www.buzzsprout.com/1958102/episodes/19375017-proportional-force.mp3","audio_url":"https://www.buzzsprout.com/1958102/episodes/19375017-proportional-force.mp3","summary":"A rainy high school track meet.

We step into the gray area most headlines skip and ask the uncomfortable question: what does “proportional force” really mean when fear and adrenaline hit faster than thought? We walk through the Texas case involving Karmelo Anthony and Austin Metcalfe, then weigh the arguments that split the public, from self defense claims to the idea of intentional escalation, and why ju...","meta_description":"A rainy high school track meet.
