The Growth Zone Podcast

By Edward Simberg & Hayley Ablott

They hate normal.
They hate boring.
But they LOVE pushing the boundaries of what life has to offer.

After living a mundane, boring and a bit too comfortable life, Edward and Hayley decided to write a list of 100 things that truly scared them, then go out in the real world and actually do them one-by-one.

This podcast includes the live action of what happened on their crazy journey outside of comfort.

In this episode Edward & Hayley dived into the second week of actively seeking rejection outside their comfort zones. This is part of their 100-day comfort zone challenge to see what would happen in a life without fear.

Listen to how they:
- Challenged their Director to an arm wrestle
- Proposed to a random on-duty worker to take over their shift
- Asked an officer for a ride on his police bike
- Offered fashion store to be a live mannequin
- Tried to buy a business on the spot
And much more.

This is one of the most uncomfortable podcasts you'll ever listen to. Enjoy the ride!

Let's be honest. Our first week of going out of our comfort zone to actively seek rejection was insane. S*** got real VERY quickly!

Ever wondered what it's like to walk up to a stranger, get down on one knee and ask for their hand in marriage? Neither had we... but now we know! To get rejected this week, we did some pretty weird things. Proposing was just the beginning. Ed asked for free food from restaurants. Do you think he succeeded? 

In this podcast, we discuss how our challenges went, what we learnt from them and the best part... surprising each other with random challenges for next week!
