This week we sit down with Rose Hackman to talk about her amazing book, "Emotional Labor". I told her upfront that as a white male this topic was (sadly) never on my mind and so I purposely took the role of her student - to ask some questions, reflect on her answers, and learn as much as I could in an effort to make my tiny part of the world a better place. This is a good one, enjoy!
