"The only way to cure my loneliness is to show up as myself and to build connection on that basis," says Simon Cinex. "I don't think that there's a single answer to this... Social media probably has a lot to answer for ... You're more connected than ever before, but more atomized than ever before."

From a bullied and unpopular schoolboy to famous party boy appearing on some of the biggest reality shows, Chris Williamson was living the life most men in their twenties dream about. However, to Chris this didn’t feel like his life and he didn’t truly understand himself, instead he was just going through the motions and pretending to be a success.

Since then, Chris has been on a constant mission to evolve and follow his ceaseless curiosity. He has used his podcast as his own university degree, talking to the world’s preeminent thinkers and learning alongside his listeners.

In this expansive conversation Chris discusses everything from strategies in the fight against imposter syndrome and gaining confidence, the true price of success and what drives successful people, to the game of love and relationships in the modern world.
