Episode notes

CNN's John Sutter has written a book about how to deal with chaos. He breaks it down into three sections: recognizing things in a different way, learning new ways and finding the space between throws and catches. "Chaos" is an acronym for challenging, hectic, anxious, overwhelming stress. The five transformations that I suggest will take you to a more healthy version of this word which is challenging, healthy, aspiring, ongoing synergy.

Dan Thurmon shares powerful tools to make chaos your ally.
