Quote of the Show:
“Trust is the new data. We do not trust institutions anymore as a country. If anyone pays attention to the news right now, it's like, I can't trust anyone on anything. We've been lied to so much and I'm not even naming anything. I'm not taking a political side as we don't trust institutions. Our institutions are in a mode of crisis and families are having to take more charge, more control of their kids.” - Jared Fuller
