Known Issue welcomes guest, Donald Boone--a corporate leader and Black entrepreneur who founded the on-demand rental company, BoxedUp. Allen interviews Donald, who shares thoughts on his upbringing, education, and life as a Black man navigating corporate America and the modern start-up environment. They discuss their perspectives on some root causes of institutional racism and the nuances of being the beneficiary of privilege. They also share some laughs. It's a refreshing dialogue between friends trying to be as honest as they can in a 70 minute phone call.

After a long month+, Allen and Hunter reunite to discuss the last five weeks of quarantine. Hunter gets a test, Allen struggles to juggle home life and starting a new business, and they both are glum about presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden. They wrap up with a few Elizabeth jokes, so feel free to skip to the last 10 minutes.
