In this insightful podcast episode, we are delighted to welcome back our good friend, Kai Chang, for an engaging and thought-provoking conversation.

Kai shares what inspired him to write his latest book and delves into his journey of understanding and nurturing relationships.

You know that moment—right after the last bite, when you feel the weight of regret settling in? It starts as a slight discomfort, then grows heavier, like a solid brick has lodged itself in your stomach. That burrito, which seemed like a good idea 10 minutes ago, now feels like it's expanding, dragging you down as your insides work overtime.

The brick sits there, unmoving, as you question every decision that led to this point. You might think, "Maybe next time I'll skip the extra toppings…" But deep down, you know there shouldn't be a next time. It's time to break up with Chipotle, once and for all.
