This week, James unpacks the juicy concept of circum-translation—that moment when you can’t find the right word, so you talk your way around it. From language learning to real-life debates, it’s about the power (and beauty) of expressing truth, even when it’s messy. With signature wit and fire, James tackles how we navigate hard conversations, miscommunication, and the importance of empathy in a world quick to shout but slow to understand. It's bold, hilarious, thought-provoking, and deeply human.
