Episode notes

It's not just what you do, it's how you do it.

We are increasingly bombarded with demands and equally confused by how important everything seems.

Growing up every year the next exam will make or break the rest of your life... The reality is some things don't matter and other things matter much more than you will ever know.

Saying hi to that stranger that becomes your wife, helping a friend start that stupid idea, putting way too much effort into a dinner party.
