867: Oh The Lengths We Will Go (Canceled Part 2)

Is Dr. Seuss being canceled? Is this the right move? Are we becoming the monster we have set out to destroy?  In this episode, we discuss how cancel culture has evolved in 2021 and whether or not it is doing more good than harm currently. 

868: Artificial Intolerance (Can technology fix bad ethics?)

Can AI solve the problem of our biases and prejudices in the workplace and other areas? Mark and Kalu try to understand this and come to some interesting conclusions.

869: Talcolm X

Episode 1 of our Black History Month Series opens with a discussion on the fight that many white people have taken up in defense of the POC community and how that fight, when taken to an extreme, has adverse effects and borders on disingenuous, fake, and annoying. 

FYFT Part 12 - Why Me? (feat. Spence Sheldon)

Finding your thing sometimes means doing things you didn't think you'd ever have or need to do. When things don't go the way you thought, you may find yourself asking, "Why me?" In this episode, I sit with Spence Sheldon, former athlete, business owner, and one of the most authentic people I know and we have a conversation on finding your thing, serving others, and learning to take care of yourself.  

870: Distorted

Cognitive Distortions are exaggerated or irrational thought patterns that many of us develop that are, in many cases, negative in nature. Today, the team puts Kalu through the grinder to understand how those affect him and other people.

871: Cronus at the Capitol

This episode is about humanity's desire to destroy itself to preserve itself and how the story of Cronus comes into play to make sense of the recent events surrounding the events that took place in our Capitol building in Washington DC.

872: Innocence Lost

It's said that we are all born inherently innocent but at what point in life is that innocence lost?  In this episode, we try to understand what it means to lose innocence and we approach it from an individual and societal level.  We both bring stories of our own to talk about when we lost our innocence and we also give a good example of when the American society lost its innocence.
