Jason and Will discuss the utility of measuring and tracking different aspects of life as a way to create meaningful change. Topics covered include body composition, tech wearables for fitness and sleep, and a measurement system for one's emotional, spiritual, and family life dynamics.

In the weeks prior to the release of this episode, Jason's wife was terminated from Lululemon, a former brand partner of this podcast and a company that Will served as a Brand Ambassador for before recently submitting his resignation. The circumstances surrounding that event have since gained quite a bit of public attention and has been covered by several media outlets, both local and national in scope. In the episode, Jason explains his version of what happened in its totality, pieces that haven't been fully covered by the news media, and Jason and Will provide their insights on several variable that lie on the periphery of the event itself.
