The Life Lessons Podcast
The Life Lessons podcast has a simple mission: to have discussions that reveal something important about life and how best to live it. My guests range from the biggest sporting names on the planet to neuroscientists, psychologists and world-renowned philosophers and thinkers. I want to get away from the pervasive 'success evangelism', and consider a new ay of being. Guests have included Jonny Wilkinson, Caitlyn Jenner, Ronnie O’Sullivan and Dame Kelly Holmes, as well as thinkers including Daniel Goleman, Sam Harris, Michael Pollan, Dr Pippa Grange and non-dual philosopher Rupert Spira. These conversations, and the bitesize episodes, have the power to change your life. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
