August 06, 2020

“If you want better answers, ask better questions.” It's come to be a mantra of mine, and that's what we're talking about this episode. A few nights ago I spent three hours logging the responses to a question that I asked on Instagram,

MOTM #234: Environmentalism is for Everyone with Justin Dennis
