Chasing Excellence - A podcast by Ben Bergeron & Patrick Cummings
Categories:
🕶️ Free Newsletter & the Chase Club We dive into the concept of Micro-Misogi, inspired by Michael Easter's book 'The Comfort Crisis'. We discuss how modern conveniences have eroded our resilience and explore actionable steps to reintroduce purposeful discomfort into our lives. Through discussing the guidelines for a successful Micro-Misogi, including being outdoors, solitary and device-free, challenging and unique, and fitting within a 4 to 48-hour timeframe, we aim to help listeners create transformative experiences within the constraints of everyday life. ⌚ TIMECODE: 00:00 Introduction and Greetings 01:28 Themes and Takeaways from The Comfort Crisis 01:44 Exploring the Concept of Misogi 02:17 Personal Reflections on The Comfort Crisis 11:54 Designing Micro-Misogis 12:59 The Importance of Nature and Solitude 21:57 Thanks to our Sponsors: Washington Post & LMNT 24:31 Unique Challenges and Avoiding Comparison 26:22 The Challenge of Misogi: Physical and Mental Limits 29:24 The Concept of Quittable Challenges 33:59 Micro Misogi: Small Adventures with Big Impact 42:10 Frequency and Planning of Misogi Challenges 👋 THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS 🔗 WASHINGTON POST | Subscribe now for just 50 cents per week for your first year to receive comprehensive news coverage, insightful articles, and personalized newsletters, helping you stay informed on current events and trends, all while enjoying convenient audio features for busy lifestyles. 🔗 LMNT | Experience a refreshing sparkling drink with zero sugar and caffeine, packed with essential electrolytes, available in delicious flavors like Citrus Salt and Watermelon Salt, designed to enhance hydration and energy without the crash. ❤️🔥 ABOUT THE SHOW We answer listener questions about health, fitness, fulfillment, and what it takes to chase what truly matters.
