This episode is a little different than the usual podcast format. There is no guest. Instead, I will share a couple of thoughts I have around a specific topic.

This week is is Hereticon, a conference centered around individuals and topics that are usually deemed off limits by the general public. We live in a society that demonizes heretics and critical thinkers who dare to go outside the lines. Instead of attempting to censor these people, I challenge you to seek out alternative viewpoints this year. Listen to the discourse and allow yourself to be a free thinker in a fast changing world.
