    Expect to learn just how inefficient the inside of government is, how the Conservatives lost so badly in the General Election, why immigration has gotten worse even after Brexit, what Dominic thinks about America's potential future under Kamala Harris, how it felt to have Benedict Cumberbatch play him in a movie and much more...

  • How To Stop Feeling Like Your Success Is Never Enough - Andrew Wilkinson - #818

    Andrew Wilkinson is an entrepreneur, co-founder of Tiny, and an investor.

    "I'll be happy when..." is the beginning of many people's mindsets about life and happiness. We assume that happiness sits on the other side of the next set of goals, even though right now we're on the other side of our last set of goals. So the question is, what if you're a billionaire? Does this pattern ever stop?

    Expect to learn whether successful people are just disordered, if SSRIs aren’t actually that bad, what Andrew learned from Warren Buffett, whether there's a number you reach in your bank account to feel like you ‘made it’, why wealthy people distort reality, where to find smart people to hire for your business, how to learn to trust your entrepreneurial gut and much more...
