Ep. 24: Comfort or Truth

We like to think we’re rational thinkers. Logical. Objective. But today’s episode explores a harder truth: your brain isn’t wired for truth—it’s wired for comfort. And that wiring? It influences everything from the feedback you ignore to the decisions you justify.

In this episode, we dig into how discomfort avoidance silently shapes our leadership, decision-making, and the stories we tell ourselves. You'll learn:

  • Why cognitive dissonance feels like pain, and why we avoid it
  • How emotional intelligence plays a deeper role than just empathy
  • Subtle ways comfort distorts decision quality, even for high performers
  • Practical prompts to help you invite dissonance and uncover blind spots

If you're someone who wants to see clearly, challenge assumptions, and grow past the comfort zone, this one’s for you.
