hey there and welcome back to another week of the pod! this week's episode may just be my favorite of all time so far because my chicago bestie brandon black and i sat down on a call to talk about a variety of topics that mean a lot to us. brandon is one amazing person to get to know, and i'm incredibly lucky to get to be able to help you get to know him from our conversations on this episode (and to have him in my life!) as an overview, we chatted about meeting in a summer program at Cambridge University, our celebrity encounters, and his high school. we also touch base on race, our concerns as global citizens, and service to others - a must listen! enjoy this extra-long episode.
