Somewhere along the way, “I’ll just pay someone to do it” became the default. In this episode, Jesse kicks things off by asking why DIY and basic handiness have quietly disappeared from everyday life. Why don’t more people try to fix things themselves? Is it the time commitment? The mental load? Or the fear of making it worse and having nothing to show for it? Jesse, Simon, and Romain get into the psychology of modern convenience, the satisfaction (and frustration) of doing things yourself, and whether the risk of failure has scared us off from even trying. Did they crack it? Check it out!
