Nothing like a near-disaster experience to get you thinking.

Lisa and Ted return to the ambient sounds of the Stanford University campus to share Ted’s frightening story of almost taking his friend Dan’s life (3:15). Our intrepid pair again dive into the topic of vulnerability, especially as amplified when we’re stepping out into the world (11:10). Per usual, they explore the mindfulness and improv ramifications of the harrowing scenario (20:29) and in particular consider how improv helps in times of c0mmunity crisis (23:02). Lisa and Ted close with a laugh-worthy riff on the ways in which mindfulness and improv might prepare us well for apocalyptic end times (31:49). Trust us—it’s fun! J

As always, Lisa and Ted would be delighted to hear from you. Please send a note, question, or comment to join in the fun of this curious romp: [email protected].
