5by5 | Back to Work #70: Expectation Zero

This week, Dan and Merlin talk more about struggling with expectations. Everybody’s expectations. Including yours.

Why it’s worth recalibrating your own expectations, managing others’ expectations, and accepting the impossibility of knowing—let alone meeting—the expectations of the entire world.

Because, that’s monkeyballs.

We also learn that Merlin likes his buttons touched very gently.
