We're back next week with our homey

Eric Glomez was assigned the scapegoat role at birth within his toxic family structure. He broke out of this role 34 years later by going no contact with his birth family and learning how to organize his coworkers to fight against the boss.

Eric’s favorite enemies are bullies because they are low-strategy opponents who over rely on inspiring fear, leaving them vulnerable to those who inspire courage.

To Eric, fear is the great paradox—simultaneously both the greatest obstacle to & most profound opportunity for uniting the working class worldwide. Fear holds us back from uniting, but also inspires courage. And without courage, there is no revolution—no better tomorrow in the history of humankind.

Heyo! We're back tomorrow! Booking doesn't always go as planned, so instead of forcing anything we're gonna roll with the open mic. Same time and place. Tell a friend. Bring a friend. And if you can't make it, you can always pay for someone else to get in!
