Michael and Ben explore a simple idea: two of the most important things in your life are your mattress and your job. You spend roughly one-third of your life sleeping and another third working, so if you’re constantly uncomfortable in either, it can have a huge impact on how you feel about your life as a whole.

The conversation looks at what happens when you become stuck in “comfortable discomfort” knowing you want something to change, but feeling too comfortable, uncertain or unmotivated to do anything about it.

Michael and Ben talk about having the confidence to speak openly with your boss, the importance of networking and surrounding yourself with good people, and why sometimes creating a side hustle, passion project or new opportunity can give you the sense of fulfilment you’re missing.

It’s a conversation about work, happiness, confidence and taking small steps toward building a life you actually enjoy.
