86! The Asymmetry of Bullsh*t and Lessons from Black Fandom
What's the cost of bullsh*t? And what can black fandom tell us about rebuilding modern creative businesses? [28:44]
This week, Joey and Aaron talk about Brandolini's Law, Hillary Clinton, what we don't know, Aaron's AdAge Feature (hello!), Gullah Gullah Island, and the Black Church. They don't talk about how the Gullah Heritage Corridor is in its 14th program year managed by the U.S. National Parks Service.
