This is episode #100 of Sauna Talk.

Do you want to know the Sauna Talk origin story? Well, when I started this podcast in 2016, 8 years ago, the idea was to help capture a bit of what felt like on the sauna bench. That's a place where deep, collaborative conversations can happen. It's often a place of untangling the wires in our heads, where our minds can open up to creative thinking, and problem solving.

It's a fun place. Sauna Talk is described here as:

Sauna talk is a different kind of talk. It is casual talk between a father and his teenage son, and reconnection talk with a friend you wish you could see more frequently, or collaborative talk amongst NHL hockey players or business partners working through a strategy. This happens because we have no distractions and we are relaxed in mind, body, and spirit.

As we know, sitting on the sauna bench creates an interesting environment. Our bodies are being stressed, yet we are feeling very relaxed. For many of us, talking and thinking is difficult. Yet for others, it's an environment where thoughts and ideas start flowing like in a kaleidoscope of colors.

In this episode, you will hear some excerpts from a few of the 99 episodes:
