This weeks Check-in comes at a great financial price. Jason starts us out with his story about an unexpected circumstance that cost him more than he had originally thought. Jason talks to us about a product he was having made. Usually, the process to make the product has a small yield for a certain amount of additive. However, the amount of product yielded was far greater than anticipated. Subsequently Jason finds himself having to pay more than he originally bargained for. Jason and Ed talk about the surprise, but also Jason’s anxiety around telling his wife. It’s a shocking and funny story to start us off.

Our Deep Dive this week focuses on Edwards experiences in a sensory deprivation chamber, or a Float Pod. Edward tells us the story of his experiences taking part in this self-care routine. Sensory deprivation chambers were created in the 50s by a Dr. Lilly who surmised that they would make the brain fall asleep. Instead, what he found was that the brain woke up in the same way as it does in a mediative state. Fast forward 70 years and the benefits from floating in Epsom salt (Magnesium Sulfate), with little to no external stimulation, and experiencing a gravity neutral environment, has not only been found to be relaxing, but exceptionally healing.
