This week Scott speaks with author, entrepreneur, and world traveler Chris Guillebeau, best known for The Art of Non-Conformity and his latest book, Time Anxiety: The Illusion of Urgency and a Better Way to Live.
Chris unpacks the concept of time anxiety—the persistent feeling that we’re running out of time—and explains why it’s different from FOMO or ADHD. Together, he and Scott explore how cultural pressures toward constant efficiency can leave us feeling perpetually behind, and how to redefine “enough” in our own lives.
This conversation offers fresh perspectives on slowing down, finding meaning, and reclaiming your relationship with time. Whether you’re chasing big dreams or simply trying to savor the present, this episode will help you rethink how you spend your most precious resource.

| 0:27.3 | And then boom, it's everywhere. And that was that moment. Listen to there are no girls on the internet on the |
| 0:32.2 | IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Most of us make decisions about |
| 0:37.3 | time without really thinking about it. |
| 0:39.7 | We have these kind of internalized rules. |
| 0:41.3 | Some of them come from childhood. |
| 0:43.2 | It's like this is how time was spent. |
| 0:45.9 | You know, we all had dinner at this time. |
| 0:47.8 | These are ways that we interacted. |

| 1:01.3 | I'm always responding. I respond to things within a certain time period, you know, within 24 hours |
| 1:07.1 | or whatever. And maybe like we talked about, maybe that's helpful and maybe that's a |
