Episode 32 - Risk, Adventure, and the Legend of Zelda

- February 22, 2018

Here are my notes from Episode 32! Risk Take a risk! Risk taking can be really hard. You may wonder if it’s even worth it. Better to play it safe, right? WRONG Risk is your friend! “By reaching for what appears to be impossible, we often actually do the impossible; and even when we don’t quite make it, we inevitably wind up doing much better than we would have done.” -Jack Welch We often become fixated on comfort, but discomfort and the risks that come with it can often lead to positive change. “When it comes to meaningful achievement, comfort equals boredom and low engagement.” - Michael Hyatt Benefits of risk: Discomfort can lead to happiness, is a catalyst for growth, signals progress John Maxwell called this the law of the Rubber Band.

Episode 16 - Brazilian Sugar Coffee

- November 05, 2017

Episode 16!! Hard to believe this episode marks our FOURTH month of testing coffees before the watchful eyes of the internet. To celebrate, we've got a new format! We'll be posting some thoughts from both Chad and myself here in the blog. You'll also notice the videos are a little different. Now that Chad and I are in different states, most episodes will be splitscreen. One benefit is that we're making our coffees with slightly different ingredients, with slightly varying amounts, and at different altitudes, so really we'll be testing two different (if admittedly similar) coffees in each episode!
