  • Makes you feel smarter

    This is the sort of show that you will want to listen to a couple of times as every episode is packed to the rafters with high quality content. I have to admit I have listened to a couple of episodes with a pen and paper on hand noting down themes and concepts I want to look into more. This is the sort of brain food and inspiration I have been craving during the pandemic. It’s a great follow up for her book ‘The Future of You’ which I greatly enjoyed.
