Episode 21 - Does free will exist?

We question if one of our most fundamental beliefs really exists and what makes it so? I dig into my belief and explain what I think, and where it has sprouted from. I give you some more food for thought from someone I think is one of the amazing thinkers of our time Sam Harris. Then we close out this week with some introspection and thought expansion!
