Show Notes
Trevor, Eugene, and David Kibuuka sit down with musician Vic Mensa for a conversation that moves easily between humor and hard truth. Drawing on his own experiences, Vic brings a raw, personal lens to topics like identity, privacy, and the strange contradictions of modern culture.
As the conversation unfolds, it becomes a candid look at the gap between how we’re seen and who we actually are—and how much that perspective can shift depending on where you’re standing.

Are you expecting too much from the wrong people? Organizational psychologist Adam Grant joins Trevor and Eugene to explore why making real friends can be so difficult, how power dynamics shape our relationships at work, and why even our closest connections can leave us disappointed.
