In today’s episode, we have the pleasure to interview Angela Jamieson, author of Using No. 2 to Get to No. 1: The Shockingly Insightful, Full-of-Crap Self-Help Book.
This is a fun one! Angela is a retired petroleum engineer turned unapologetic poop philosopher. She’s a speaker, writer, and cofounder of the School of Human Kind, known for blending science, humor, and heart to help people live more joyful, relaxed, and purpose-driven lives.
In this episode, you’ll learn how to release emotional constipation and find clarity, why relaxed productivity beats burnout every time, and how to stop comparing your life to others and finally enjoy your own path.
We hope you enjoy this fun conversation with Angela Jamieson.
