In this episode, John and I discuss how to balance being likable and staying true to the Truth. We talk about the importance of picking a handful of people who can truly speak into your life and how they must be dedicated to the Truth. We discuss reactions to success as the litmus test for friendship and the dangers of jealousy. We also talk about the benefits of podcasting and writing your thoughts and how taking time to actually think helps circumvent existential crises. Lastly, we discuss John's favorite books and the mysterious look of pumpkin pie.
