How most people are too rooted in beliefs to ever see the truth. How the truth won't exonerate you when dealing with narcissists - or their followers. Why sometimes followers of narcissists deserve your empathy. When and who to share the truth with. How swearing less, impacts more. How @theMinimalists, @DailyStoics and @StevenBartlett share the same secret to overcome traumas.. When your bosses yell at you over the phone, mute yourself, stick your tongue out and twerk to Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke's performance. When you want to be inspired to not care what others think, watch the performance again! Talking RGF Forgiveness Tour '22, update on our 'How to Build Your Throne in a Sea of Kweenz' upcoming RGF book deal, Junkie Outward Bound, Fun Boy Island and knowing that when you're backed against the wall, Comedy Must Rule.
