Christine brings levity to the mix, sharing her transition from public relations to stand-up comedy during the pandemic's challenging times, and we all unpack the nuances of staying authentic in the limelight.

In a heartfelt tribute to the late Tony Hsieh, former CEO of Zappos, we reflect on the complexities of business and personal relationships, as well as the perils of manipulation and betrayal.
