Welcome to the Things That Shape Us podcast. My name is Jonathan Wymer and I'm joined by James Gary to discuss a various range of subjects that are all related to one idea: How those things shape our lives.

In this episode, James and I discuss ONE THING that shaped our lives. Boredom seems to have a negative connotation in today's society. Maybe this is a sign of the times in which technology has pretty much given a surrogate to originality and focused creativity. Maybe it's due in part of a misjudged conspiracy from baby-boomers to their children. Or maybe people are simply anxious and afraid of time alone and without the constant simulation. Who knows for sure. But one thing is for sure, boredom can lead to great things, because you're giving your mind, body, and spirit a chance to take a break and use the ole imagination. James and I go deep in this energetic conversation about the state of being bored and why it can lead to great things, and we really shouldn't be scared of being bored in the slightest.
