James Harder is a float tank enthusiast and a board member of the Float Tank Association. James, along with his wife Amy, own and operate Float Harder Relaxation Center, a float tank center located on 500 Washington Avenue. James and I talk at length about the history, benefits, and common experiences of floating. If you're not familiar with floating, it's a way of blocking all external stimuli by floating in an enclosed tank filled with epsom salt. This is typically in a dark, soundless setting, and is used to achieve mental clarity, to practice mindfulness, to recover from physical stress or trauma, and various other reasons. James also talks about what is was like to start and grow a business, his experiences hitch-hiking, and human optimization.
