    Jonathan's cousin Jeremy Martin, a native of Elmira, Woolwich, Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada - home of the Elmira Maple Syrup Festival (2025 Festival is Saturday, April 5!), talks about his unique experience of growing up at an elementary school where half his class was Old-Order Mennonites, in addition to growing up with disabilities.


    They also discuss flaws and bad experiences they had in the education system, the concept of "looksmaxxing" which is a word to describe the vanity of the generation that grew up with social media, Gen Z, and issues in dating culture in today's world. They conclude by advocating for peace between genders and between generations.

    Founder & CEO of Griot Water discusses US & Canada politics, debates drugs, guns, & potato chips! The recording date of January 16, 2025 is significant, as Jonathan hosts Anthony Benton Brown for a very intriguing and open-minded conversation about Canada-U.S. relations, and Anthony's social ventures Synergy Heals, a water-providing not-for-profit, and Griot Water, a for-profit, health-oriented "functional beverage" business.

    In the discussion Jonathan explains the Canadian political system and parties, Anthony explains the American system, and they come to agreements on how many similarities and integrations there are between the two countries and their cultures.


    They analyze the debate of prohibition vs. legalization for drugs and guns, the TikTok ban which took place a few days after this episode was recorded, and the possibility of states or provinces moving from Canada to the United States or vice versa, and the idea that instead of political takeovers, there could just be more cooperation and laxed border restrictions.
