With February being Black History Month, my cohost Tchorzky and I discuss the growth of our personal identity, specifically related to race. Figuring out who you are as a young person is a trying process for anyone, but growing up in the Greater Boston area and both attending the same predominately white private school from 7th though 12th grade made our journey of self-discovery one that was inextricably wrapped up in a racial context. Throughout this episode we discuss the lessons we learned about ourselves and how we interact with the people and the larger world around us in our coming-of-age years, and we hope some of those lessons resonate with you.

The recreational use of marijuana is legal in 18 states and decriminalized in another 13, with legal sales in the US nearing $15 billion in 2021. Regardless of your personal feelings surrounding the substance, it is undeniable that its use is becoming more acceptable, and with that has come more opportunity for enterprise. Two young men who are taking advantage of this opportunity are Oliver Prudent and Benjy Celestin with their company, Toasted Chef. What started off as a more typical informal service has blossomed into a fully licensed and legal business with a genuine community of supporters behind it. The Toasted Crew provide products ranging from flower, to infused dishes, to merchandise.
