A while back I wrote a guest article on for a website on the concept of Balance.
The way that I define balance in life between work, training, life, family, etc. is probably a bit different than what you usually hear. So for the solo episode today, I wanted to read and expand on the article that I wrote almost a year ago.
What is balance?
Is it even attainable?
If so, how?
I cover all of these things in the episode, and ...

Today I'm breaking down a piece written by Steven Kotler on the concept of Flow.
Its a word that has become pretty trendy in recent years and I think Kotler's thoughts on it, and how to use it to be more productive and successful are brilliant.
I don't usually just read things out loud for a podcast but I thought it was important to analyze his actual words.
This one was fun, hope you enjoy!
