In this episode, Michael Easter and I dissect the fascinating blend of scientific evidence and narrative storytelling, and learn how to navigate the sometimes conflicting realms of expert opinion and personal experience. Michael is the acclaimed author of "The Comfort Crisis" and "Scarcity Brain." 

Michael's storytelling prowess paired with my evidence-based approach aims to empower you to step confidently into discomfort and reap the rewards.From the allure of digital distractions to the silent power of solitude, our discussion covers the spectrum of challenges faced when interpreting scientific evidence and applying it to real life. 

Discover how venturing beyond the boundaries of comfort can unlock transformative growth in our latest conversation with 

Picture this: I'm in Costa Rica, pushing my limits in a Misogi challenge led by Michael, finding new depths of resilience that even my experience with Ironman triathlons hadn't revealed. Michael's journey from a magazine editor to a full-time writer and lecturer is a testament to the power of embracing discomfort for personal evolution and health. 

Together, we explore how modern life's conveniences might actually be roadblocks to growth, and how stepping into discomfort can offer profound benefits.
