Analysis Of Disrupting My Comfort Zone

The Comfortability in being Uncomfortable a Response to “Disrupting my Comfort Zone”
“Disrupting My Comfort Zone” by Brian Grazer is a short story about a forty five year old man in the entertainment business, who purposely puts himself in rather difficult situations. He is constantly in search for new people to meet that can teach him something new, or challenge his previous beliefs.
