Dan Harris is Type A, self-help skeptical and looks the part of a TV anchorman. But he recently quit his 20 year career at ABC News to fully embrace his side hustle: convincing Americans to meditate. Dan wrote a memoir, [10% Happier](https://www.tenpercent.com/?ref=cascadepbs.org), about his unlikely journey to mindfulness, that has since expanded into a podcast and meditation app.

Dan loves sweets, specifically cookies, and even more specifically, warm cookies delivered by [Insomnia Cookies](https://insomniacookies.com/?ref=cascadepbs.org). Host Rachel Belle speaks with Insomnia's founder and CEO, who started the company nearly 20 years ago when he was a 20 year old living in a college dorm room.

And we'll do some cookie detective work: what's going on when a batch of cookies spread in the oven or come out dry and cakey? Cookbook author and host of *Zoe Bakes*, [Zoë François](https://zoebakes.com/?ref=cascadepbs.org), joins the show to troubleshoot the most common cookie baking mistakes and shares how she became a professional baker after growing up in communes and cults that forbade sugar.
