We started this episode a little different than usual, by talking current events. We discussed the tragic death of rapper Nipsey Hussle and his positive influence on a whole culture, as well as MDMA research as an approach to PTSD treatment. We also answer a couple of questions from our listeners about overcoming personal challenges.
