EP 140: Checking In With Ben

We tap in with one of our regular guests and a friend of the pod from L.A. Ben shares his experience during this tough time for Los Angeles residents and what it means to have friends, family, and an empathetic support system during times of struggle and hardships. We also get into some lighthearted conversation about horrible songs from the 80s (Rolling Stone Survey from 2011), Back 2 The Future Movies (someone's not a fan of the 3rd movie, can you guess who?), and more!  You know how we give it up! Resources below for non-profit organizations lending a hand to L.A. residents and firefighters.
