It’s a good question. Why? Maybe we should always be asking why. When we don’t know why we’re doing something, what’s the point? Whether it’s for money. Or for power. Or to get something. Or maybe it’s a more altruistic reason. The ‘why’ we do things is critical and isn’t…

FLASHBACK! KEW Episode 52: Hard and Soft Realities / The Are vs. Should Prob
