After some ice-breaking conversation, Tyler jumps into a spontaneous social experiment with the other monkeys. A series of questions to show how subconsciously reluctant they are to share what makes them feel really good about themselves. If you want to follow along, pause after each question, and then messages us your experience. We apologize for the audio quality of Tao; we had some technical malfunctions. However, the experiment in the last half of this podcast was too good to hide away.
