98. [WW] There is no GROWTH without resistance: A metaphor from the Biosphere 2
Show Notes

This week, we have a pep talk style conversation inspired by the Biosphere 2. Sounds out there, I know. But I think you will vibe with this idea. The Biosphere is essentially an artificial, controlled environment built inside of a dome which includes various types of ecosystems. It is designed for research and experimentation, and one piece of information that they discovered upon its inception was all about TREES! The trees planted inside of the sphere would grow to a certain height and then topple over. After investigating, researchers discovered that the trees needed wind in order to properly grow and develop, otherwise they were too weak to survive. As you can imagine, this can be a powerful metaphor for the human journey. Lets talk about it!
