    Those Who Speak Truth to Power: 2:72

    Welcome to The Prime Directive - we boldly go where most podcasts are afraid to go. We tackle topics that make you think, discuss with your friends, make you laugh, and question what you thought you knew. Our mission, simple. To explore this strange new world with curiosity instead of accepting simple answers. We ask that you listen with an open mind, look with your human eyes, transcend the algorithm, and step out of the echo chamber. Because someone has to put the "civil" back in civilization. Eric, Admar, and Liesl continue discussing the first year and Season 1 of the podcast by talking about New Year's Resolutions for control freaks and people who really don't like to make resolutions. They discuss the importance of those who speak truth to power and seeking balance in the new year. Some topics include: Trying not to control everything, seeking wisdom and balance in the midst of chaos, keeping expectations realistic, the importance of feeling satisfied, experiencing gratefulness, the importance of travel experiences, thanking those who speak truth to power. True crime junkies need to empathize with the power of shared stories.
