Life Full On: The Art of Living Fully

Matthew Parris is a legendary broadcaster, author, journalist and quasi-national treasure. We wanted to speak to him because frankly, who wouldn't? It's Matthew bloody Parris.
But, he's also a really important voice in some huge questions that are of vital importance. One in particular comes from his experience losing his tribe. Matthew was life-long Conservative, he began his career as an MP, and still has fond memories of Margaret Thatcher but left the Tory party over Brexit. We dived into what it was like to lose a tribe, what he realised about tribal thinking and why tribes are still important.
We discussed false Messiahs, the dangers of spirituality, the mixed blessings of Christianity in Africa and much else besides. We know you'll love to spend time with him as much as we did.

Why are we looking for something more? - Lisa Smosarski
James and I were so pleased to speak to Lisa Smosarski because as the founding editor of Stylist Magazine, she had a unique birds eye view over the culture that we’re living in today. We wanted to find out how her readers were answering their need for meaning and belonging in 2020.
Also, Lisa is just one of those sparkling, shining people that it’s just great to hang out with. It was a win-win-win-win-winnie mandela-winning with Michail Winner-win. 
In this podcast we learn about Lisa’s childhood going to Sunday school, without believing in God, then forcing her parents to still take her, when they stopped going. The conversation then moved onto the desire for people today to seek answers outside their own lives. A search that often leads to astrology, something that is not up Lisa’s alley at all. We then slag off astrology for a bit (but in a way that is respectful of all people’s beliefs).
From here the conversation moved on to cover fashion, identity and how we can engage with the current system while agitating for change. 
After this we moved onto looking at Lisa’s incredibly successful career, to find out a bit more about how she was able to become the editor of the iconic Smash Hits aged only 25. This developed into a great conversation about how she creates a work culture where everyone can excel, without becoming all Devil Wears Prada. 
Finally we got stuck into what makes Lisa tick, and the specific ways of thinking that enable her to be a beacon of light when things get stressful. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
