Mandy shares her thoughts on how the organization's actions have led to a culture of division and hate, and how it's time for a change.

The conversation also touches on the future of electric vehicle charging, as Mandy talks to Sam Say and John Patterson of Ev Charge, a Colorado-based startup that's creating a peer-to-peer EV charging network.

From the impact of the Iran war on the global oil market to the importance of supporting Israel, this episode covers a wide range of topics that will keep you engaged and informed.

Mandy also shares her thoughts on the importance of being mindful of the companies we support and the impact of our consumer choices. She discusses the rise of the gig economy and how it's changing the way we think about work and leisure.
