Episode description

In this week's podcast, Erik and Brandon test a modern take on book reviews. Erik read Johann Hari's NYT best-selling book, Lost Connections, and pushed Brandon's ability to riff on concepts like how to handle disconnection from meaningful work, meaningful relationships, and meaningful values. This episode is one of our favorites to-date due to its unique style and important subject matter.
