Brian Grazer's 'Disrupting My Comfort Zone'
Disrupting my comfort zone. Easy to say, but harder to actually do. Author Brian Grazer is all about it. He lists examples of him doing new and challenging activities throughout his writing. Doing new things is hard, and not a lot of people experience it on a daily basis. Like Brian Grazer, I try to experience new things whenever I get the chance. Two new experiences that I have personally gone through for the better are pole-vaulting and eating rocky mountain oysters.

I already knew the name, but I didn’t know what kind of fried food I was actually eating. Turns out I was eating the private parts of a bull. For a minute, when he said that, I thought my grandpa was joking, but then I realized this was no joke. I was a little befuddled, but everyone else was eating them so it seemed normal. I went on to have a couple more and called it good. I think the experience opened me up to trying new foods, which is something I’m actually thankful for. As a whole, disrupting my comfort zone was a good experience. Both pole vaulting and rock mountain oysters are ordeals I’m glad to have endured. They both gave me knowledge and experience. Brian Grazer is an interesting man because of his new escapades. He learns so much different stuff that helps him in every day activities. He’s constantly learning and growing as a person all because he frequently disrupts his comfort zone. If society today did just a little bit more outside their comfort zone, I believe all would
