In the past two-decades, Gift Cards have become the most popular gift-giving idea on the planet, booming into a nine-figure market that is set to grow to over a trillion dollars a year in the next decade. In the spirit of our favourite holiday gift idea, we're diving into gift cards. Where did they come from, why do we love them so much, and is there a dark side to them?

*The podcast is redeemable at any set of ears for as long as it is up on the internet!

Almost a decade ago, the National Football League pushed through a scandal involving the effects of the sport of the brains of its athletes. After years of denials and obstruction, the NFL settled a lawsuit in 2013 to provide healthcare benefits to its former players to treat their cognitive issues. The problem? It turns out the league actively used racist medical ideologies to make it harder for Black former players to receive their fair share of the settlement. And once again, the league scrambles to deny, cover up, and move on from this story.

Facebook changed its name to 'Meta', and then placed a bet on their future, and really, the future of the digital spaces that are a central part of our world now. So is this just a classic attempt to re-brand away from a bad reputation? And what is "The Metaverse" that the company is investing heavily into?

The Assorted Goods Podcast is a curious look at what's happening in the world. Every episode is a dive into a topic or news story, where we aim to slow down the never-ending stream of information to get a better understanding. 

It's a more casual perspective on life on earth. Stop by, have a listen, and enjoy. 

Episode Originally Published June 7th 2021. 

There's a lot to know about the human brain, but what do we know about the inner-workings of gifted and Twice-Exceptional (2E) individuals?

My guest this episode is Dr. Nicole Tetreault, as we discuss her book 'Insight Into A Bright Mind', as well as an assortment of topics including; anxiety, imposter syndrome, meditation, why we focus on the negative over the positive, and of course, how we can learn to work with and understand people with unique patterns of thought. 

A jam-packed episode and a great conversation. Enjoy!
