Rules 6-12 and some concluding reflections on Jordan Peterson.
To be clear: this is a podcast ABOUT Jordan Peterson, not WITH Jordan Peterson. For those of you who don't listen, I understand. It would have been cooler if we had him on. But for those of you who stick around, enjoy the conversation in which we go through each of his 12 rules for life. This is Part 1 and includes an introduction as well as a discussion of rules 1-5. Rules 6-12 will be released in Part 2. I am not putting our email here because we would get too much spam.
