SAWSP #5 Honest Self-Inquiry and Overcoming Ego with Terry McMullen

In perhaps the most personal  podcast yet, I got to speak with the incredibly pragmatic philosopher that is Terry McMullen. In this podcast, we spoke about the value of questioning why we believe what we believe and do what we do. After earning an MBA from Harvard and landing a lucrative job at IBM, everything seemed to be  going exceptionally well and according to plan. Then within a year, he lost a sibling, his wife became ill, and they had a son. McMullen spent the next seven years studying philosophy, as well as cognitive and social psychology,  in order to better understand himself and his relationship to life during these hardships. He went on to become a member of the American Psychological Association,  American Sociological Association and has posted personal reflection videos every day for a year on youtube. Eminently thoughtful and intelligent, McMullen was an unforgettable guest.
