In this podcast episode, Russ and Lindz engage in a candid conversation about the importance of taking mental health breaks and advocating for oneself. The script captures their discussion on various topics, including the weather, recreational activities like fishing, the influence of online videos and social media, and their thoughts on a viral coffee-making influencer.
