WARNING: this gem-filled episode contains explicit language. In this episode, my guest Krisor and I discuss the importance of finding your element; that escape from reality and from your problems to spark purpose and fulfillment in your every day life. For some of us, that can be going to the gym - The Temple, as dubbed by my guest. Our conversation took many turns that ultimately lead us to a discussion about a progressive future and contemplating changes we might need to make as a society to be more united as a people. This being said, we don't propose radical large-scale changes in society, but if you can start by treating the next woman or man as an equal rand focus on loving them rather than hating them, progress will be made. Enjoy.
