Description:

Today's episode is about "cancel culture". Canceling people doesn't make them disappear--It just prevents you from engaging in an open and honest dialogue. Instead of canceling people, let's give them a chance to grow. The world is constantly changing, and we should allow others the space to adapt and learn from their mistakes.
