Entertain Me

The past few months have taught us that we have no certainty of the future and little control over the events that can determine the way we live. Across PROJECT RESET_, we have discussed specific areas that affect us all, asking what the future could look like if we took this moment of adversity as an opportunity to make positive changes. This episode looks at the most pointed questions that came out of those that have come before it and lets us begin to shed a brighter light on an uncertain future.
