Right now, my favorite thing is promoting my friends’ projects - be it a book, a podcast, a substack, legal work, acting, comedy, music - we are all storytellers. Telling your story helps people feel like they’re not alone, and that’s the most important feeling there is!
Check out my friend @Victorshi2020 and his new podcast about Gen Z voters, who helped preserve democracy in the midterms!
Or listen to my friend @MollyJongFast on the #FastPolitics pod. She also writes for @VanityFair! The @nytimes did an amazing above-the-fold piece on her here: nytimes.com/2022/11/06/bus…
