Special Guest: Daniel Bottner. What types of experiences trigger self-awareness? Do we ever stop growing? In this episode, lifelong friend Daniel Bottner joins Aya and Josh to talk about their social, mental, and physical development through the years; active vs. passive growth; shifts in maturity, popularity, and social standing; empathizing with parents; the neuroscience of learning; the dawning of existential dread; and building awareness through self-reflection and meditation vs. interacting with diverse groups of people and empathizing with their struggles.
