  • #49 How To Read

    This episode I'll give you all (most of) what you need to know about how to read. Not in a sense of learning to read words, but; how to remember what you read, making a habit of reading, how to read faster, how to make sure you're not distracted. Alongside that, I review 'Limitless' by Jim Kwik and a short review of 'Atomic Habits' by James Clear.

  • #47 James Walsham AKA 'The Honest Bloke'
    James Walsham AKA 'The Honest Bloke' started an online space as a platform to express himself and show up. Showing up is a large part of the conversation in this podcast, we chat about; vulnerability, dating, meditating, celibacy, crying and a few books he's enjoyed along his journey of self-discovery.
     
    We need to challenge the stigma around the Mental Health conversation, the biggest killer of men under 45.

  • #41 Re-Introduction
    I'd like to re-introduce myself. I didn't delve deep enough to some topics on the Introduction episode, so I do that today. I also cover, building a reading habit, 5 books I wish I'd read 5 years ago and what to expect this season.
