    His backstory (he’s lived 9 lives)
    The reason you shouldn’t give up even when it’s not working
    Vocational identity
    His experience taking a 9-week social media break
    Practical ways to slow down
    The value of walking with people rather than standing on issues
    And *for the first time ever* he announces details about his NEXT book
    Join us for a lively look at how to human in 2023.
