Main Discussion:

Next, we dive into our topic of the day, “It’s Your Debt, Pay It!”  

Our discussion in this episode is about the victim mentality and lack of accountability that is pervasive in our society today.  We use student loan forgiveness as a metaphor to further the discussion.  The underlying message is that we control our lives and the mindset around what happens to us even though we can not control what happens to us.
