Dat soun Kinda Private
2/28/2021
Privacy is essential to who we are as human beings, and we make decisions about it every single day. It gives us a space to be ourselves without judgement, allows us to think freely without discrimination, and is an important element of giving us control over who knows what about us.
However, often times we don't realise when we are over sharing and we often breach our own privacy. Our guest, Shanik Ramson, sat with us today to discuss and explain even more why it is important to keep some things private.

VAL-EN-TIMES
2/14/2021
“Men are taught that feelings are a female thing, and that they make you weak." In fact, everybody thinks and says this. As a result, in a competitive, macho culture, we see that men find it hard to connect with other men in a deep, emotional, or non-judgmental way.
For that reason the ShopTalk Gents discussed why and how men are actually strongest when they lean on each other for support and look at the question, "Do men celebrate each other enough?"

What does gifting mean to you?
Well giving the perfect gift means you are considerate, kind, aware, and ingenious.
A gift should be used to convey a feeling of love, consideration, and empathy rather than simply an act of material exchange.
Some think the idea of a gift is to give the receiver something they already want but what is better than an expression of appreciation?
