I don’t want to offend the other guests, but Will Ahmed might be the most impressive guest we’ve ever had on this podcast. Aged just 22, whilst still a student at Harvard, he founded Whoop, a wearable health tracker that measures the minutiae of your heart rate data to give you insights on your strain & recovery.
10 years later, the company is worth $3.6 BILLION and Whoop is worn by athletes across the world, from LeBron James to Michael Phelps. Will’s story is properly incredible, but what’s even more amazing is his advice on how to find success & sustain it.

Ep. 87 “Genius Is More About Habits Than Genetics”: How To Find Your 5am Club With Robin Sharma

Vivian Tu wants to change our relationship with finances forever, and her story is incredible. Vivian is a first-generation Asian American, who grafted her way to Wall Street, facing misogyny and racism on her way. She spent years on the trading floors, making the kind of money she always dreamed of, in an environment where she was one of only two women on her team. When she left finance & moved into a strategy role, she noticed she was always the go-to person for money-making questions, tax returns, investing, pensions. Becoming increasingly worried by the amount of dodgy information regarding finance online, she started making her own educational content under the handle ‘Your Rich BFF’. Now, she has over 6 million followers and a best-selling book to her name. She says her aim is to teach everyone the “lessons that rich dads have been teaching their rich sons on the golf course." I can’t wait to speak to Vivian about her story.

Ep. 86 How To Change Your Relationship With Your Finances Forever With Vivian Tu

When I started the podcast I wanted it to be all about life improvement from every angle, not just the ones we're all taught about.
We've put so much effort into improving the guest episodes this year, but if I'm totally honest I felt the solo episodes needed re-vamping to make them the most useful resource possible. I LOVE explainer podcasts on everything from history to celebrity scandals. So we're trialling a new 15-minute explainer format. I’ve given myself an excuse to spend hours researching the topics I wish I knew more about so you don’t need to read a whole book to understand something important.
So I've started with one of the most important things I've researched over the last few years: habit theory and why everyone on Instagram says it changed their life (including me).
The episode is only 15 minutes long, so perfect for your morning hot girl walk! Let me know what you think!
+ READING LIST 
I owe a huge amount to the following habit theory researchers who make up the reading list below and whose work I researched for this episode!

Ep. 85 The Habit Theory That Changed My Life, Explained

Emily English is a nutritionist on a mission - she’s a qualified nutritionist with a BSC from Kings College London, and she now has over a million followers who love her easy & healthy recipes, and simple explanations. 
Emily is a glowy picture of health, but it wasn’t until her relationship with food suffered that she decided to explore our relationship with food as a whole.
I can’t thank Emily enough for sharing her story and being so open about the struggles she’s faced to get to where she is now. I really quizzed her in this episode about the fundamentals of diet & nutrition, there’s so much actionable advice in this one. I hope you enjoy it!
