In today’s episode we discuss how the last three years handed us ample reasons to disagree, but perhaps the one thing we can agree on is this: it’s hard to human out here. Enter, Carlos Whittaker with his brand new book: How to Human. This book is the essential, timely guide to sharing life beyond what distracts, divides, and disconnects us. 

In this episode, Carlos and Hilary chat over coffee about:

• His backstory (he’s lived 9 lives)

• The reason you shouldn’t give up even when it’s not working

• Vocational identity

• His experience taking a 9-week social media break

• Practical ways to slow down

• The value of walking with people rather than standing on issues

• And *for the first time ever* he announces details about his NEXT book

Join us for a lively look at how to human in 2023.
