    Welcome to the first installment of the Studios subseries. In this episode, we’re diving into the Nonprofit Industrial Complex. What it is, how it came to be, and why it might be doing more harm than good. From Reagan-era policy shifts to firsthand experience at a nonprofit, let’s unpack the contradictions of a sector meant to “do good” while surviving on the crumbs of capitalism.

    Welcome to End Times Art Club, a new chapter for the podcast formerly known as Coaches Don’t Play. In this first episode, I share the story behind the rebrand and introduce a new direction: art + conversation. We’re starting with junk journaling, what inspired this shift, life updates since my last upload, and what to expect from future episodes. What kind of guests or art forms would you like to see? How do you deal with the pressure to be consistent or "productive" in creative work?

    the nuances of modern dating

    Last summer, Yashmitha, Cole, and I dove into the messy world of modern dating. We unraveled the meaning of situationships and explored why relationship limbo has become so prevalent. We also had a fun conversation on the statement "men ain't shit." Does it allow men to get away with anything? Join the conversation by sharing your thoughts! .
