You GUYS...I'm so psyched about this episode. Hydroxide has been one of my longest and best friends, and it's been such a joy to watch her career grow. In this conversation, of course we discuss the current standings of the food and food safety industries, but we also talk unemployment, going viral, comment sections, and how to discern disinformation from truth.

As a bit of a skeptic, I love how optimistic this conversation turned out to be. If you've been having difficulty navigating the world of food safety and nutrition in the current media landscape, this is absolutely one you'll want to tune into.

Your screenshots folder is full of old horoscope wisdom from your astrology app, advice pieces from Reddit, and stills of videos from TikTok wellness influencers. You meant well by saving them. You still want to incorporate them.

But you'll never have time to look at those screenshots, much less utilize them.

Today we're discussing the plague of overwhelm that comes from the internet of wellness, and why you can't get any of those lessons to stick around long-term. There are new studies being done to show what kind of downtime we actually need for sustainable self-reflection, and we're going to cover all of that and more.

If you're tired of learning without really changing, this is the conversation for you.

It really feels like nothing anyone says matters anymore. Companies aren't transparent, friends flake, leaders promise things they can't deliver. This leads to an overall degradation of language and trust, or what I like to call "linguistic inflation."

The slight bright spot in this problem is that it isn't new, at all.

Join in on the conversation today as we unpack what linguistic inflation looks like at all levels, why it really is that deep, and how some of the greatest dystopian classics like Animal Farm, 1984, and Fahrenheit 451 showcase what happens when a society allows it to continue.

This isn't meant to be a moral panic or fear-mongering...it's just that I'm an English teacher and I know a pattern when I see it.
