The world often feels rigged. And this episode is a wake-up call to recognize the barriers that exist for those who don’t fit the traditional mold. In this episode, which is a kind of tribute to my dear departed Dad, I recount some powerful lessons from the man who was a brilliant psychiatrist and my biggest champion. He taught me that if something feels off about the environment you’re in, it probably is—and it’s absolutely hella-not your fault. We dare to break into the uncomfortable truth that many workplaces are designed for a very specific demographic, leaving neurodivergent individuals, particularly those on the autism spectrum, feeling excluded. I share three stories in which my Dad imparted to me more than my fair share of his wisdom, and I'm hoping you to can feel empowered. You'll learn that we can advocate for ourselves and others to create a more inclusive work culture.

Just a few episodes ago, Ian went on an epic rant about how shooter rod buttons suck ... Now, Spooky Pinball head honcho Corwin "Bug" Emery is here to debate him on why he's actually wrong and why buttons are king. Shane hosts the debate as we hear both sides of the argument and decide who's right, and who's wrong. We also discuss Bug's already amazing resume at the age of 23, his friendship with Spooky Luke, and the 2000 classic film Coyote Ugly.
