Listen in on a special episode where Gian's romantic side makes one final appearance between going on a hiatus from the dating world.

Listen in on Gian discussing words of wisdom on the topic of self-love. People often self-deprecate to the point that seeps into how they often treat others.

There is much to take away from this episode as listeners are encouraged to take a step back and analyze their self-love meter.
Listen in on Gian, in a raspier voice than usual, reading through yet another lyrical line-up. No wisdom provided, at least for this episode.
