Safe Travel and Our Hero Obsession

April 05, 2019

How do you travel when you only feel safe at home? And what is the appeal of a hero? [18:12]


This week, Aaron and Joey talk about feelings that conflict with safety facts, getting struck by lightning, Aaron's tips for venturing into uncharted territory, Zion Williamson, the hero's burden, and Han Solo (sort of). They don't talk about the great foremother of the "Cone of Possibility": the rather technical "Cone of Uncertainty".
