This week, Pete brings Jen the following questions: What might happen when you lower the bar for yourself, and when might it be a good idea to do so?

Specifically, in this episode Jen and Pete talk about:

• How might a high expectation of a given situation actually have a negative impact?
• How do people's definitions of success differ when faced with similar circumstances?
• What is a practical utopia? And how might we use "practical" as a framework?
