“Something one of my friends said about me is that, ‘Julian doesn’t have secrets - he just has things he ain’t said yet.’” - Julian A.

This TOTM Face to Face conversation is between Mohandas and Julian. Mohandas is the Ever Forward Club’s Youth Host, whom you can get to know more about in episode 83. Julian is Mohandas’s friend since childhood, currently a 12th grader based in Oakland, CA, and an all-around artist. By playing the card game "Ever Forward Club: The Adventure", Mohandas and Julian have a chance to discuss self-awareness, friendships, life skills, coping mechanisms, and more.
