040 - Getting to Zero Conflict with Jayson Gaddis

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Name one thing people avoid probably more than most other things.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The plague - definitely. Not really Covid - although, we have become a world of attempting to avoid that at all other costs. I mean,</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">it is</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">the new plague, really. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I digress.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I suppose you could say walking into traffic.
