'Owning Yourself'

Josh spots 'Owning Yourself' listed on an order form slipped inside a book Donna brings back from Teddy Tomba's seminar. This follow-up product captures Tomba's philosophy of self-ownership reduced to digestible slogans, fueling Josh's urgent debate with Donna over its risks when Ritchie's campaign adopts similar tactics. Donna defends the appeal while Josh presses her to track its sources.
