The Vision

---

Our vision at Out The Cage is so much greater than just a podcast. That is no disrespect to the other podcasts that are out there today, but the question is how do we use this medium, how do we use this platform to make life better?

Here at Out The Cage there are four pillars that we stand on to set ourselves apart while helping to bring the absolute best out of our viewing audience.

THE OUT THE CAGE VISION

C - Communicate The exchange of thoughts, messages, or information, by speech, signals, writing, or behavior.

Many of our difficulties, at work and in our relationships are brought about by our struggles with communication. Out The Cage wants to show our viewing audience that we can address a wide range of topics with the ability to demonstrate effective communication. For communication to be effective, it must be clear, correct, complete, concise, and compassionate. When we communicate effectively we may not agree with one another, but there is a level of understanding between all parties involved.  

A - Acknowledge To accept, admit, or recognize something, or the truth or existence of something.

When you identify and recognize the importance of someone’s existence, that person subsequently feels seen, heard, and understood. You do not have to agree with an individual's politics, behavior, or lifestyle choices, but we can agree that there is a certain level of human dignity that can be given. It has nothing to do with their class, race, gender, religion, abilities, financial status, or any other factor other than them being human. Out The Cage wants to show that we as human beings can and will disagree with one another, but we can also give a certain level of respect towards one another from a basic understanding of human dignity.

G - Galvanize To cause (people) to become so excited or concerned about an issue, idea, etc., that they want to do something about it.

Galvanizing others is not about deceiving, bribing, manipulating, or using fear tactics to cause people to act. A galvanizer gets people to act because they want to because they agree with a cause and a mission. Out The Cage wants to bring information to our audience that  moves them to make the necessary changes needed to live a life that maximizes its full potential.  

E - Encourage - To inspire with courage, hope or confidence.

While most people want to succeed and achieve their goals in life, many people need a little push and guidance in doing so. Encouraging others to take the right path makes a deeper impact on the society that we now live in. In the world of social media, it now appears that infamy is more profitable. Controversy appears to get more likes and views, to the point that many have lowered their standard to be liked by others. Our vision at Out The Cage is to raise the standard of our viewing audience and those who are connected to them. We realize that as we influence those who watch Out The Cage, this will also begin to spread to others. We believe that the issue is not that we are aiming high and missing, the issue for many is that we are aiming low and hitting.
