Calling it history isn't exactly fair considering how recently the last institution shut its' doors. This week is dark, and I'm giving you this as fair warning. I will continue to do everything I can to further my education on the Residential School system within Canada. This episode also ties in different genocides and ethnocides throughout history and what mentalities link them together.

After trimming a bit of the fat off the listenership his last go around, he's back and we're hammering out another controversial topic - Covid vaccines. I thoroughly enjoy these talks, and he's one of the most fun people to talk with regarding just about any topic under the sun. This time we loosely talk about vaccines and the way the narrative has switched from efficacy to virtue.

Don't settle for being a jellyfish and always moving with the flow - set a course, and drive towards that goal. Also I talk about directing that anger and aggression into whatever project you want to complete. Anger, aggression, and assertion shouldn't simply be labelled as "toxic" traits.

This week I'm taking a look at who I surround myself with, how those circles change over time, and how to analyze these relationships. You want to surround yourself with people who can sharpen you and push you to new heights, not always an easy task when maybe some longtime acquaintances are holding you back. Hell, maybe that's you. We always need to be honest with - above all others - ourselves.
