My friend Garth swung by to use my internet, little did he know he'd have to defend his love of Jordan Peterson to me...

Whether you like him or not, Peterson is making huge differences in the lives of so many people today. Thank you Garth for taking time out of your work day to engage with me and help me to understand why so many people do find him very helpful to their lives.
