Breaking Change

If you're itching for a discussion that explains why I'm afraid to move into my new bathroom, what I really think about Andrew Huberman, and why it might make more sense to learn French than Java… prepare to be scratched, I guess?

I am highly confident that at least one person will get angry and unfollow this show as a result of words that came out of my mouth. If you've got thoughts and/or feelings, let me have'm at podcast@searls.co!

And if you'd rather give your eyes a rest and your ears a workout, might I suggest my long-form solo podcast, Breaking Change? Odd are, you haven't heard anything quite like it.
