The Comfort Zone
In this episode, Hoots on the Ground discusses the comfort zone! Hoots runs through why the comfort zone is important and how we need to move through our fear zone and into the learning and growth zone. Hoots shows off some of the famous illustrator Jennifer Lacy’s work.
Be comfortable being uncomfortable! Hoots explains some of the awkward moment in his personal life! For instance, have you ever been on an elevator and experienced the awkward silence?! Not with Hoots! You better be ready for a dad joke or something silly to break up that moment. Seek those awkward moments because growth is taking place!
Tune in to hear Rafa and Andrew with Bosch Refine My Site crash this recording with a random phone call as Hoots was recording – AND Hoots answered!! Hear some of the convo live in this podcast!
Hoots dives into what good stress is and helps to breakdown the Yerkes and Dodson law as he shows some diagrams on this vodcast! This is also known as the Goldilocks rule meaning not too much stress, not too little stress, but just enough to keep someone’s attention!
Hoots closes the podcast out with a challenge to the Lean Builder Nation to go out and be comfortable being uncomfortable. Hoots even offers a few ways to go out and practice getting outside your comfort zone today!
