Episode 36: Fluid like Water

Another hiatus is over and the ASWD crew (@douveh & @niaking) is back in the basement for another podcast. After coming back from a recent trip to the 6 (Toronto, ON,) Dougie breaks down his time spent in the city. He starts with the road-trip up, before touching on the city itself and the marijuana culture. Moving on, Dougie and Nia discuss the idea of “balance” and what that means to society today. Is the idea of true balance just a subjective thought? How can we balance multiple aspects of life that all may hold different weights to us? Using his “Water” philosophy, Dougie explains why it’s important to be fluid when searching for life’s equilibrium. Ultimately, settling on the idea that no balance is best for stability. As always, you don’t want to miss this one. To submit questions to be answered on the podcast, email or DM one of the contacts below. Podcast also available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Soundcloud.
