For those of you who weren't aware: we live in polarizing times. The mental and physical stress caused by discord about the most basic of facts is getting out of hand, and people have forgotten how to deal with disagreement. With social media-fueled tirades and news-driven anxiety attacks spilling over into the workplace, though, we have an even bigger problem on our hands.

This is where Scott Warrick comes in. He is an expert in employment law and workplace cohesion who specializes in morale and preventative education focused on tolerance and the benefits to brain health it brings. His most recent book, Healing the Human Brain, a First-Hand User's Guide for Rewiring Your Mental Health, is a treatise on the physical and mental dangers of intolerance and how we can repair the damage this does to us and others.

A funny thing happened on the way to the water bottle factory. While everyone was freaking out about the 2008 recession, Travis Rosbach had his head down, hustling and innovating the tech that brought you Hydro Flask, the company he founded and the metal water bottle we've all got sitting on our desks and rolling around in our car.

His journey has been incredibly diverse: he’s a certified Dive Master/Instructor and was a commercial airline pilot. He’s a Reiki Master, member of the Explorer’s Club, and a Fellow at the Royal Geographical Society. He’s got a lot to share, from random encounters with the Queen of England to hard-earned business wisdom.

Suffice it to say, this episode is chock full of great stories and great advice. I recommend you stop reading this and start listening.
