You guys mentioned it this episode - but I’d love to hear your take on “the great resignation” - is it the precursor to people choosing a more simple life? Are we just indulging in a luxury of not having to work? I was excited to hear it came up - I find myself so curious about the whole topic. (And thank you all always for inviting us to think deep!)
