Episode 96, The Need for External Validation

Malcolm asks for help writing the blurb and choosing testimonials for the back cover of her soon to be available, print edition of Do the Wrong Thing. In Keys to Paradise, Mourad writes about money and how the acquisition of it rules his life in his early, poverty-stricken days. His only extravagance is a membership to The American Club, a high-end gym where he spends most of his spare time. He talks about how Italians view Moroccans and how, because of this, he distances himself from his countrymen, basing his identity on the time he spent in Paris, instead, and what this does to his psyche.
