Calm the F Down: Why Everything Isn’t a Crisis

In this episode of Make Good Choices, Marc cuts through the noise and says what everyone’s been thinking: people need to calm the f*** down. Not everything is political. Not every disagreement makes someone Hitler. And if we wouldn’t talk to people face-to-face the way we do online, maybe it’s time to rethink how we’re showing up.
