Communication is something we all do on a daily basis whether with family, friends, neighbors, teachers, etc. It's a skill we always practice, but even with that many of us don't actively work on enhancing it. Hannah and I talk about some of our relationships and communication with the individuals in our lives, and how we can all work on bettering our overall relationships through healthier use of communication!

TV and the entertainment industry as a whole have a lot of control over our societies; they can make and break entire races and cultures. Red and I dive into the negative and positive aspects of TV: how it enforces certain stereotypes, but also has the power to end them, and bring forth new perspectives and understandings of societies.

Sexual assault and harassment towards women are a lot more common than we may think, and because there's a stigma around speaking up about things of this nature we may not really be aware of that. In this episode, nine-teen brave women opened up and were vulnerable with us by sharing their stories and experiences around assault and harassment. These women also gave some advice and insight on what they think men can do to help reduce the frequency of these atrocities from occurring to women. Please listen to this episode to the end as it's a crucial one that covers a really important topic. 

- 

Message to all women: if you need someone to talk to about anything please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I am more than happy to support you, and listen to you. Also if you or someone you know is going through sexual assault, abuse, harassment, etc. please search up the sexual abuse helplines available in your areas of living.

Will bitcoin become the future of our economy? We discuss that, along with the faults in our current economic systems, how bitcoin addresses those, and overcomes them. We talk about how banks are saying bitcoin is a scam, but at the same time they're buying into it, and why they're doing that. How bitcoin is the gate to financial freedom is also discussed, and we touch base on how to get started in bitcoin and other cryptocurrency: buying, selling, storing, etc.
