His work has appeared in more than sixty countries and can also be found in Men’s Journal, New York, Vice, Scientific American, Esquire, and others.

Tyler and Michael’s discussion focused on the important, counterintuitive idea of rediscovering the uncomfortable elements that we’ve engineered out of our daily life. What you’ll learn:

  • Michael’s life-changing transformation of living in the arctic and mimicking life in the past

  • Why you should perform tasks with a high degree of failure

  • The benefits of nature, the three day effect, and why people find Jackson Pollock’s work so appealing

  • What people often get wrong about hunter-gatherers

  • Why we evolved to seek comfort and why it’s not serving us now

  • Tips on how you can seek out discomfort

  • The Hawthorne effect

As high-performing real estate investors, we must get comfortable being uncomfortable on a daily basis!
