Summary

In this episode, I discuss maintaining professionalism in contracting environments, emphasizing integrity and the need to respect boundaries in potential romantic situations. I analyze "The Great Gatsby," critiquing its portrayal of wealth and moral complexities. The conversation touches on the importance of 'faith' versus 'good works,' empathy towards picky eaters, and supporting individuals in emotional transitions.

I address family dynamics and the caution needed when confronting past issues, highlighting the role of therapy. Finally, I explore the irony of religious biases and the implications of universal basic income on individual freedom versus government control, encouraging listeners to reflect on their values and moral frameworks.

either not get romantically involved, or wait until three months after concluding their contract
