Asher came up with the idea for this podcast whilst recording the previous episode. So in a sense, this is a follow up. Today he talks about judgement - why we do it, when it becomes problematic, and how we can learn to stop judging ourselves and the people around us. (Ps. Asher doesn't know the answer to any of these things).
