Viral Topic: The Changing Dynamics of Work-Life Balance: “We don’t have the luxury, I call it a luxury that maybe my parents had back in the 1960s, 1970s, where my mum stayed at home raising three children. My father went off to work. Even though it was tight, they could afford to have one owner and one permanent house person. But women want to work, women want to work, women want their place in life.”

Childhood in the 60s and 70s: “I very rarely sat around watching telly because back in those days don’t sound like dark ages.”

Screen Time and Social Connections: “And people build relationships online, which is great, they connect with the world, but they’re not actually, you say, just hanging out and chatting face to face.”

Personal Responsibility and Equity: “But yeah, I’m a great believer that I have to take personal responsibility for being the best me I can be and not pushing it onto somebody else or society straight away.”

Viral Parenting Debate: “one of the reasons people are growing up into adulthood with more anxiety, with more stress, with more poor mental health, is we haven’t maybe spent enough time as a younger person with our parents, with our mum, learning resilience, learning about failure, learning about things not working where people are maybe being brought up in a world now where things have to work first time or someone’s going to fix it for you”

Viral Topic: “Is Our DNA Just Computer Code?”: Yeah, I’m, I’m a great believer that our DNA is effectively just a computer code. And you know, if you look at most computer programmes, computer code, it has core blocks as a beginning, a middle and end, it has subroutines, it has this. So it’s not surprising that our core code, if you like, is very related to other living organisms that are based on a carbon based ecosystem. So we’re all going to be processing oxygen, light. If we were silicon based culture, we would have different ways of processing things. But fundamentally, because we’re all growing up in a very similar ecosystem, our DNA and how we process things in this planet is going to be very similar. So, yeah, I completely, completely agree. And all our, all our programming is doing is telling how our atoms and molecules and, and, and, and cells in our body, how to configure themselves.

Viral Topic: The Power of Self Awareness in Emotional Intelligence: “You cannot influence yourself until you become aware of who you are and all those dynamics.”

Why Lifelong Friendships Survive: “But I’ve got a friend who I’ve known since I was about 6 years old, so that’s 54 years. We lost contact for about 20 years in the middle, but we’re still friends now.”

Timeless Family Bonds: “But that’s the hard thing about family is because those bonds are not transient. They’re kind of our social construct of family is that these bonds are permanent.”
