In this episode, we interview Joe Kwon who, as he says, “pulls back the curtain” on life in his entertaining and informative “Why it Works” podcast. There he interviews a diverse cohort of guests who speak to the universal principles behind what they do.

Joe’s other love is Aikido, the Japanese martial art. After gaining a basic understanding of some of the principles underlying it, we asked Joe to use Aikido principles to diagnose two situations where individuals needed to get out of their own way.
