The Millennial Misfits (aka The Mill Mifs) is a podcast hosted by Asher and Sheriston. Two 26 year old commerce graduates from McMaster University in Canada. We created this podcast as we are interested in sharing the stories of millennials trying to discover themselves and do something outside the box. We hope to follow the non traditional path and that is how this podcast was born because we know many people feel this way. We also discuss interesting topics, events, news and personal stories. Enjoy!

Why You Need To Try Sensory Deprivation with Geoff Liang of GoFloat!
Episode 40 is with a special guest and friend, Geoff Liang of Go Float Burlington! Sensory deprivation or perceptual isolation is the deliberate reduction or removal of stimuli from one or more of the senses. Humans are constantly in a state of stimulation, whether from the news on TV, the music playing in your speakers, or the notification buzz from your phone - we are always alert. Removing these stimulants allow us to achieve a state of relaxation that is rare and much needed. Geoff is the owner of Go Float, located in Burlington, Ontario. He explains the benefits and misconceptions around floating and why everyone should be doing this at least once a month.

This week we have the pleasure of speaking with Celine McDonald, a high school teacher of 18 years who just so happened to survive teaching Sheriston (we’re half kidding). Celine brings the perspective of a teacher, mother, and a friend as she details her experience of how schooling has changed over the years, the affects of the pandemic, and how she manages her kids and students in the twilight zone that is 2020. This was a fun and truly insightful conversation that we hope you’re able to enjoy and learn from!
