I’m excited for the first part of this two-part episode with Tim Urban, the man that turned his blog into a global movement who is now bringing us a new framework through which to through complex societal issues. You’re possibly one of over 65 million people that watched Tim Urban’s legendary TedTalk, Inside the Mind of a Master Procrastinator.

Tim is joining me today to introduce ideas from his book, What’s Our Problem?: A Self-Help Book for Societies, and this leads into the first part of an epic conversation unpacking the primitive mind, woke ideology that has weaponized words, and the tug of war between your individuality and society.

QUOTES:
