Why Solitude Makes Us Uncomfortable (and Why That Matters)

Everybody has had the very uncomfortable and often embarrassing experience of having been caught with their pants around their ankles.

This podcast is about helping you prevent those experiences. And in it I’m gonna answer questions you’ve asked, questions that you haven’t asked but should have. And otherwise, share some ideas that are designed to keep those pants of yours buckled firmly around your waist. So let’s see what I’ve come up with for today!
