Why do we care so much about what other people think? Foster and Cesar explore the art of giving less fucks, as a source of freedom from needing to control how others perceive you. Despite a world steeped in people-pleasing, our biological fear of being ostracized by the tribe no longer serves us in the age of social media and cancel culture. They ask the question: is it possible to incrementally build the muscle of caring less? They reveal how to balance kindness and truth, why you can't control how someone receives your message, and the power of giving less fucks as a soil bed for boldness and creativity.

In this episode they explore:

• The real work: not giving a fuck without anger
• Why caring what people think is a biological fear that no longer serves us
• How Foster incrementally desensitized herself to being seen
• Cesar's "back pocket fucklessness" and when to access it
• How posting daily on TikTok made the flops stop mattering
