Ep 9: I made a new friend on a flight

Grit Chat

I had a flight from Albany to Chicago at 5:30am, and as fates would have it, the man I sat next to happened to be pulling an all nighter after a family reunion in Boston, and had originally planned on sleeping this flight away. Once we got chatting a bit, we discovered a lot of commonalities in our lives and perspectives, even though he has studied psychology and now neuroscience. Michael Consani is from Portland, Oregon, and coming from a family that has a hand in the weed business, he has also taken his studies deep into human behavior, how the brain works, and I came to learn that his passion is for helping people be their truest healthiest self, and even though his angle and approach to the help is from the world of medicine, we had so much talk about, including nutrition, ketogenic diets, elimination diets, the psychology of change, social stigmas, and how to be true to yourself. Sometimes you sit next to someone on an early morning flight and end up having such a good conversation for an hour and a half, you're just glad to have recorded it to share with the world! Enjoy, this has been one of my favorite podcasts due to both the facts that it was impromptu on a plane, and for the knowledge of matter I was previously unaware of. Enjoy!!!
