Hey! I'm back! Thanks to everyone who has dropped me a message.

We're doing something a little different now.

I'm writing a lot more and publishing on Substack. This podcast will now include:

A read-through of each article by me. Then, a follow-up episode where I can expand my point and talk through inspirations, bits that needed to get cut etc. in the relaxed way only a podcast can afford.

I hope you enjoy! If you want to read the article - visit existentialpicnic.com

In this extra peaceful episode, we talk about:

* The overwhelming amount of choices we have and why that low-key sucks

* Why shame makes you sit on social media

* The dangers of copying what others want

* Why you’re secretly the bad guy in Men In Black 1 (a perfect movie)

See you next week.

Hey folks,

Episode 3 has ARRIVED.

In this episode I share:

* The most useful thing I could be doing with my life

* The book that unlocked meditation for me

* The book that helped me outwit a sociopath

* Why you’re not reading enough fiction

I also tell a really boring anecdote about how I’ve had too much caffeine today but then realise I was drinking a coke on the podcast! Crazy stuff.

See you next week.

I spent years building a life that tried to look impressive: writing scripts, chasing creative validation, stacking achievements to prove to myself that I was moving somewhere.

Then, somewhere along the way, it stopped making sense.

In this first episode of Existential Picnic, I talk about what happens when ambition burns out and the strange, painful, and low-key funny process of rebuilding purpose from scratch.
