Episode 7 - Chase Squirrelson- Conversation Interruptus

Interrupting. Losing focus. Jumping tracks mid-thought. Sound familiar? In this episode, Chase Squirrelson leans all the way into the chaos with a visit from Dr. Distraction—a character who embodies exactly what pulls us away from being present. What starts as a conversation about interrupting quickly spirals into unexpected territory, from doctor visits and cockroaches to hitchhiking and toothpaste…before finding its way back again. Along the way, Chase unpacks why we interrupt, what’s really happening in our minds when we do, and how distraction shapes the way we communicate. He also shares more about the purpose behind the podcast—and why these conversations matter. It’s a little scattered, very real, and completely Chase! (:31) Interrupting and not listening?
