Description

It’s almost curtains on 2023, but before it’s over, we had to share some things we’re grateful for. With a game, naturally! We’re playing a lil guessing game, but of course, the number one thing we’re grateful for is everyone who’s taken the time to listen to this podcast, comment on social media, share this conversation with others. We’re most grateful for you. THANK YOU.

• Jake Stika, executive director and cofounder of Next Gen Men, joins us this week to close out the year. He shares the importance of including different perspectives in the books we read, as he, Remoy, and Samantha all share their book gratitudes. SPOILER: Remoy continues to deny his literati status even as he shares a 700-page book.
• Jake goes Beyond Our Own Knowledge, getting into a couple of dope Next Gen Men initiatives.
• The crew stresses the importance of saving publications with factual information in this age of misinformation and disinformation as Next Gen Men completes a very important campaign
• The crew has a moment of gratitude for mental health. Remoy shares his personal experience in another moment of gratitude.
