Welcome Back to The Personal Best Podcast


My guest today is David McIntosh Jr, host of the podcast Origin Story, featuring guests like Jimmy Carr, Rory Sutherland and Example.


In this episode we discuss: David's personal story growing up in poverty in Scotland and what truly shapes who we become - nature or nurture. We dive into how to find ambition, turning adversity into strength, outgrowing limiting environments and how we should redefine success. Plus we uncover common patterns among high-achievers and why embracing your past is the key to a more fulfilling future.
