Each conversation is wildly different than the last, so bring your ADD & your earbuds & have a look around! You'll hear subjects like mental health, health & wellness, biohacking, adult friendship, finances, science & technology, true stories, cults, sex & relationships, introversion, psychedelics & ADHD.Not sure where to start?
