    Stories From The Road - (Have Some Fun out There)

    Today we share some stories from our time and life out there on the road. From hikes up mountains in work attire to swords of steak lit on fire, from running the Rocky steps to unexpected seats at a baseball game, we're grateful for some of the amazing experiences we've been able to have in this field. Time flies and jobs can sometimes be stressful.  One way to help on both of those fronts is to break up routine and try something new & different.  Studies show that the perception of time is slowed when you change up your routine (look up the neuroscience of the "novelty effect" or "holiday paradox") and create new memories & experiences. With today's episode we're hoping that you're stirred you to do something a little different (try a new restaurant, go see something cool, enjoy nature), have some fun, and make some memories out there. ...even better if you make those memories with an industry friend or co-worker! Enjoy the show!
