Send us a textAsher came up with the idea for this podcast whilst recording the previous episode. So in a sense, this is a follow up. Today he talks about judgement - why we do it, when it becomes problematic, and how we can learn to stop judging ourselves and the people around us. (Ps. Asher doesn't know the answer to any of these things). Got a question for the next podcast? Let me know!

Send us a textAsher was 43 years old when he found out that there are some people out there who don't care whether people like them or not!
