The Wisconsin Elections Commission will not release voter information to a federal voter fraud commission for the time being. We learn what their reasoning is. It’s often said that technical skills are necessary for the future workforce, but emotional intelligence may actually end up being more important. That’s according to our guest, who says the demand for emotional labor is booming, but the work is undervalued. We also look at a series of poorly received marketing efforts by Kendall Jenner and discuss why we hate bad advertising.

We’ll speak with Ken Mayer about the news and the potential implications.
