Summary

Rob Henderson discusses his memoir and the impact of his early life experiences. He challenges the overemphasis on education as a measure of success and highlights the importance of stable family structures. Rob also questions the narrative of overcoming trauma and the limitations of post-traumatic growth. He acknowledges that some foster parents have ulterior motives, such as financial gain. Additionally, he explores gender differences in foster care and the challenges of addressing single parent homes. The conversation covers topics like the importance of two-parent homes in the neighborhood, the influence of background on work on luxury beliefs, using race as a proxy for disadvantage, the hypocrisy of luxury beliefs, the effectiveness of therapy, and the ethics of surrogacy.

0:00.0	Oh, Yeah, yeah. Welcome to another episode of Conversations with Coleman.
0:33.0	So in my last episode, which was released several months ago,
0:37.0	I said that I was back for my book promotion hiatus
0:40.0	and would be adopting a more regular podcast schedule again.
0:44.0	Right after I said that, I went on the view, which ended up being the most viral media moment of my career by far.
0:52.0	Thanks to the hostility I received from one of the hosts named
0:55.1	Sunny Hosten. And as a result I got a whole slew of new requests to promote my book on

1:09.1	Neil Ferguson actually gave me very good advice on this point recently. He said that book promotion doesn't

1:21.0	resume my normal podcast release schedule. So I have Nellie Bowles,
1:25.1	Eric Kaufman, and Glenn Lowry coming up. Thank you all so much for your patience and

1:41.2	Specifically, these are people who signed up to support me through PayPal prior to
1:46.6	2024 and have tried to unsubscribe in the first five months of this year.
1:52.6	If you're having that problem, don't worry.
1:55.2	I've identified the source and I've been working with PayPal
1:57.7	for the past month to rectify it.
2:00.0	You will all be fully reimbursed and unsubscribed in the next few weeks if you haven't already.
2:06.0	Thank you for your patience on that as well.
