To strive is human, to saunter divine. Welcome to The Tortoise - a podcast that digs deep into the power of slow. Brooke McAlary (author of "Slow", "Care" and "Destination Simple") is joined by her husband Ben for a monthly deep dive into the realities of trying to live slow in a world that won't stop racing. On the third Thursday of every month, join Brooke and Ben for an unscripted, unedited, always candid and usually fun conversation about slow living and how embracing our inner tortoise can impact every part of life: relationships, work, family, community, tech, health, care, personal growth. If you’re burnt out, overwhelmed, frustrated at the sheer pace of life or just looking for a sign to slow down, this is the podcast (a plodcast!) for you.

Joel Zaslofsky - SHP Episode 2
http://slowyourhome.com/2 - Today I chat with Joel Zaslofsky, one of the most interesting, organised humans I have ever met. Joel is a spreadsheet aficionado who uses his data wrangling skills not to bore himself to sleep but instead to create a richer, more vibrant life. He is a huge advocate for the process known as 'experience curating' and we get into it in today's show.
We also dig in to Joel's journey from gaming addict to renaissance man, his struggles with learning to slow down and simplify (interestingly, dealing with clutter was not one of his obstacles) and his work to create a community of people who want to embrace a simpler, slower way of life.
This was such a great conversation and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
