About Season Three: The Nature of Stress

Season Three is our next adventure into the contours of our human nature. In these episodes we will explore the vital role of stress in our lives. With varied guests of many persuasions, experiences and points-of-view will dive into what modern science says as well as the direct encounters stress shows in people's lives.

Exploring as many terrains that we can find value in, we will hear the wisdom, the struggles and the stories of first responders, athletes, artists, veterans, neuroscientists, daoist wizards, social researchers, zoologists, storytellers and more.

Come sit by the fire and listen in as we travel through yet another array of human stories. Navigated by Jef Szi and his mosaic of guests, let yourself get inspired by tales of all kinds which reveal and renew our sense of how humans work.
