Curt opens up about what it's like to be the often lone man among a sea of women in a yoga studio and how he processes ideas like "self-care" and "self-love." Curt also talks about how he and his wife Christine survived a public controversy for building a 50-foot wind turbine next to their historic home in Grant Park in Atlanta and how the couple transformed "fake" news back to feel-good news.
