Episode 1: What are Values and Why Do They Matter?
In the first episode of Waffles Friends Work, Kara and Jensie set the table for a rich season-long discussion of personal values. After convincing you that articulating your personal values is a worthwhile endeavor, they give some ideas on how to actually figure out what your values are. Using examples from their own personal values, you’ll learn that no two people share the same values or the same route to finding out what those values are. Also, find out why Kara admires Leslie Knope so much, what Jensie admires in The Dude from The Big Lebowski, and why most of their family is obsessed with the parents from Easy A.
