Is That A Challenge?

We're kicking off the second quarter with a new set of challenges, this time around…HOBBIES! Does that sound a little lame to you? Well listen and Bobby and Casey dive in to the importance of hobbies, the struggle to incorporate fun into our lives, and how they are thinking about this as a way to improve their overall well-being.

Let's wrap up this wild first quarter of the year with a recap on our Health challenge: what went well, what we completely missed, and what lessons we're taking with us moving forward. Casey gets a little punch-drunk (completely sober), so if you make it to the end of this episode, you're truly a gem.
