Ep12 -- The New Abnormal
This week, we take a closer look at the normal, everyday world we live in, and realize that in some important ways it's anything but normal. We explore how important it is to put our normal, everyday world in context, to better understand how we got here, and to figure out how we might move forward for the better.
