Love Your Attention, Build Better Habits
The tiny house sauna wasn’t where we met. When I met John Pederson through a mutual friend, it happened entirely by accident.
I was at a coffee shop with my friend David, and John happened to pop in holding a tube of giant rolled-up papers. We invited him to join us, and he did, unraveling the papers to reveal blueprints for something I had never imagined existing—a fully mobile, wood-fired sauna built on a trailer.

I’m super excited to bring you this TEDxCapeTown follow-up conversation with Ang. I was so energized by her talk that I included it in a previous inspirational TED talk post. We connected on twitter recently and she graciously agreed to answer a bunch of questions for us. Enjoy!
Tell us a bit about yourself and one thing that has you excited?
I guess you could call me the poster child for a recovered lifestyle. In my twenties I was about as unhealthy as one person could get. I subsisted on a steady diet of hamburgers, beer, coffee, nicotine and sugar, exercised intermittently at best, and thought water was something you drank when you ran out of tastier alternatives e.g. when lost in the desert.
When I turned 29 I fell in love and my life has been on an upward trajectory ever since. Initially Sporty and I were both unhealthy, but an aha moment involving a marshmallow fish and an Oprah Winfrey episode led us to rethink our ways. Over the next 10 or so years we quit smoking, gave up sugar, dialed back our drinking habits and became vegan (coffee remains a challenge).
