Alas, 2022 is coming to a close, and what would the WNTTAT podcast be if we didn't talk about it?!
In this episode we share our reflections on what we feel defined society at the macro level in 2022 - as well as what defined each of our years on a personal, micro level.
We both share two reflections on each ... some of it may surprise you! Check out the chapters if you want to jump around.
