    THINKING THURSDAY: Get Comfortable with Being Uncomfortable: Luvvie Ajayi: Zac Gandara

    Thinking Thursday’s are about critically thinking, breaking out of boxes, and discussing new ways we could live this life together.

    MONDAY MELTDOWN: Where Does Empathy Come From?: Zac Gandara

    I am not the first person to reiterate that we have an empathy crisis in our world. We’ve created walls of privilege to shielded ourselves from the pain and struggles of humanity. The only way to understand is to embrace, and listen while feeling uncomfortable.

Zac is a good guy just trying to make it through

And he realizes that's true of most of us. A wonderful pod exploring how wonderful and hard simply existing can be.

Yassss

This podcast episode was so good. Zac explained exactly what I was feeling but put it into words about someone who leads in absolute certainty. So so so good. It is a must listen episode!! Seth was awesome! Thank you guys for this podcast!!

Great Podcast

Another opinion base podcast, sold as the moral authority. The topics that are covered are really good and seem to facilitate some good discussions. However, there is no room for opened mindedness. Still good to listen to.
