CONCLUSION
What a compelling and thought-provoking interview with Dr. Sean McFate. The hour went by so quickly and I still had so many questions. For all of my guests, I thoroughly research them. I read all of their books, listen to them on YouTube, watch their Ted Talks. Sean was no exception. I read all 4 of his books so that I could really understand what we would discuss! I loved this interview and I know you will too.

It is interesting to be watching this transition from the previous administration of Escape Artist to the current one now on board (RE: Mikkel). I had been in touch with Rachel in the past year to explore writing for the site, but then got involved in some outside activities offshore that distracted me from being able to pursue that angle. Now that this “new” format for EA is happening, I may want to revisit the possibility. Please let me know the best approach for your new format and how Mikkel and team may respond.
