Scott Morrison and Martin Johnson tackle the modern-day pursuit of comfort and convenience and why now, more than ever, we need to embrace being uncomfortably comfortable.

They dissect the 'comfort crisis’, exploring how our obsession with instant gratification is impacting everything from our relationships to our careers. From the pressures of modern parenting to the fast-paced demands of work, they explore the constant tug-of-war between comfort and growth. It's a raw and honest conversation about finding balance in a world that's constantly pulling us in different directions.
