In this episode, Jeff and Jonathan continue their conversation about Derek DelGaudio’s In & Of Itself to talk about the power of being recognized, the generosity of inclusion, and how a new context can open us up to significant experiences. This includes some pondering of WandaVision, how children fit in our society, the impact of westernized, eastern religious practices in the workplace, and who’s more embarrassed by touchy feely stuff. 

The conversation then turns to the significance of the unwritten future, the choices we make, what kind of a world we want to live in and what kind of people we want to be. This includes discussions of crossing paths with wild animals in the city, raising urban chickens, if our relationship with animals is inherently ethical, Steve Jobs and other idea stealers, Aslan and Chance the Rapper, and the nature of leadership.
