“Being nice isn’t enough.” . In this episode, Ricky and I speak about his early days as a flair bartender, managing two of the busiest restaurants in L.A., substance abuse, and fatherhood. We talk about the effects of alcohol and the sobering reality that becoming a parent means you can no longer snort cocaine in the Harvard and Stone bathroom. We also take a deeper dive on being a white father in today’s social climate. I make the point that the book White Fragility is flawed and if we want the issue of race to be thoroughly discussed, everybody needs a seat at the table.
