Navigating Modern Issues: Diversity, Self-Harm, Artistry, and Responsible Gun Ownership

Step into a time capsule as we fire up and head straight back to the vibrant 90s music scene, with grunge, hip-hop, and alternative rock setting the pace. Get ready to jam as we wax nostalgic about iconic bands like Sound Garden, Pearl Jam, and Chili Peppers, and delve into a time when the Wu Tang Clan ruled the hip-hop scene. From the hard-hitting beats of the Wu Tang Clan to the laid-back appeal of a good cigar, we're about to embark on a trip down memory lane.Switching gears from 90s nostalgia, we move to some hard-hitting topics. As we dissect a recent open house for prospective RISD students, we notice the stark lack of diversity. We grapple with the silent struggle of self-harm, as seen through a student with self-harming badges, and the judgment they attract. We also delve into the uphill battle faced by working artists, highlighting the importance of understanding how to build a business, not just creating art. The final leg of our journey takes us to a concealed carry permit class, a space that prompted us to reflect on the attitudes and motivations around gun ownership. The aim isn't just to understand the laws and regulations around gun ownership, but to grasp the implications of such a choice. We wrap up this episode with a discussion about Jared Kushner, reflecting on his humility in discussing his father's criminal past and the business acumen that has fueled his success. Be prepared for some serious talk and a good dose of nostalgia, all in the same episode.Follow us and listen on our Youtube page. https://www.youtube.com/@TheSoberExperience See you on the flipside !!
