    8. Soft Serve Sessions (pt 1) l Carly Potomic & Grant Horun

    Gather 'round for the Soft Serve Sessions with my two college buds Carly & Grant! I decided to ditch the interview style for a sec to experiment with a more discussion-based episode. We run the gamut in this one - covering topics like men's mental health, vices, getting cheated on, and being adopted. Join us for the informal kickback that is the Soft Serve Sessions!
