Episode 58 - Barstool Confessions #5 - A Season of Change

About this episode

Erik and Paul discuss the value of social media, inspiration during winter, and strategies for maintaining a positive mindset.

What happens when two friends sit down and wrestle with life's biggest questions? In this episode: Erik asks what VALUE does social media actually bring us? Paul grapples with INSPIRATION during the LONG winter (seasonal affective disorder anyone?). We also discuss food science and bacteria, as well as some strategies for staying in a positive head space in a chaotic world. Join us for an honest, unscripted conversation that just might shift how you see the world—and yourself.
