Carlos Whittaker...you know him and love him and he’s a Hall of Funner. We’re diving into the project he’s been working on the the past few years. If you don’t follow Carlos on social media and haven’t heard about this, you’re going to be fascinated. Carlos spent 7 weeks away from screens and spent time with monks and amish farmers to see how it would impact his life AND his brain. He’s written all about it in his brand new book, Reconnected AND he’s been working on a documentary of the whole thing. We’re going to talk about all of it today. Buckle up! . . . . . Other topics we cover in today's episode: Rwanda, African New Life, pickle ball, family, the Amish, monks . . . .
