- I have a question about the episode The Action Sports Evangelist: Selema Masekela | Rich Roll Podcast and the clip A Beautiful Friendship. I also have a question about episode #940 After Dark: Space Musician and the clip Lessons Learned. I realized that my dad was just nice to me while trying to get something from me.

I think this was his true self. Was it just him being hurt, or was it something else?
