Today on the podcast we have Stephanie Harrison, founder of The New Happy, and soon to be published author with Penguin Random House for her book, The New Happy.
Stephanie, who has a masters in positive psychology, is on a mission to teach us the truth about happiness, and why - when you do everything right, pursuing the right jobs and education - you still don’t feel happy. Stephanie's interest in studying happiness started many years ago when she worked at LinkedIn, and her interest in workplace happiness grew when she worked at Thrive Global. The New Happy started as just a curiosity, then a newsletter for family and friends and now a community of millions of people - with millions of followers across her newsletter and recognisable Instagram page.
We talk about how it got started, why everything you know about happiness is wrong, how she got over the fear of posting online, and why you don't need to read the science to know that helping people makes you feel happy.

Today on the show we have Jo Marchant - a New York Times bestselling author and speaker. Her writing explores the nature of humanity and our universe, and today we talk about her book 'Cure' all about the mind-body connection.
Cure begins with a simple question: can our minds really heal our bodies? It is a controversial subject, but she studies it with the scientific rigour learnt from her PhD along with a skeptical and open mind. She uncovers evidence that our subjective thoughts, emotions and beliefs can have very real benefits for our health, from easing symptoms and influencing immune responses to reducing our risk of getting ill in the first place.
She explores everything from hypnosis to meditation, from placebos to positive visualisation – to explore the power, and limits, of healing our body with our mind.
This episode is a bit different from normal, we explore the science instead of her own journey making the book, but I hope you enjoy it just as much!

The Speed Project is hard to explain. It is a 340-mile relay-style race from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, which started as an adventure between friends and has since scaled to global participants. It's an unsanctioned "unofficial-official" race (which means there are no official rules, and no spectators), and has been called "unsanctioned, unhinged, underground and off the grid" - as well as "the secret fight-club style race" (BBC), and "Hardest Running Race in the World" - Hypebeast)
In this episode we talk about:
The birth of the speed projectWhy Nils loves running why it's an anchor in his lifeWhy people should allow people to love their work and get paidWhen you should quit a side project Why your 'why' matters so much.How you can keep going when doing such an extreme raceP.S.

Today on the podcast we have Tim Brown, co-founder of Allbirds.
Today Allbirds is a public company, with an IPO in 2021, and almost one thousand employees. But it didn’t start that way. In fact for many years, Allbirds was just an idea, a side project for Tim Brown - who was a professional footballer for the first part of his career, even playing in the world cup. Tim was bored of the branded shoes he had to wear as a footballer, and started to wonder if a better shoe could be made. For years, he experimented. Tim is a New Zealander, which is the home of merino wool, and he started experimenting with creating a new shoe material with his homegrown merino wool. After he had a prototype shoe, he launched a kickstarter - which proved the idea was popular with others.
In 2016 - Tim officially co-founded Allbirds with his cofounder Joey Zwillinger - who helped shape the sustainability focus for the company. They are now a carbon neutral company, and were termed the ‘world’s most comfortable shoe’ by time magazine.
We talk about tall poppy syndrome, why he thinks a sense of humour matters in entrepreneurship, and why he thinks the 85% rule of effort is so important. I hope you enjoy.

Today on the show we have Lauren Zander, life coach and author of the book “Maybe it’s You” - offering a step-by-step process that has transformed the lives of tens of thousands of her clients.
Following a realisation that she’d been living a life full of lies, she decided to “clean up her life” and tell the truth. The result was a lifelong successful career in life coaching and writing. She was in the first vanguard of life coaches, a newly emerging industry, and counts the well known life coach Mel Robbins as one of her early clients. She’s also the coach of Hugh Jackman, the actor in Wolverine and Greatest Showman, who has cited her practice as a “slap taken” - a dose of reality and motivation when preparing for the Greatest Showman.
We talk about why people are so afraid to commit fully to their projects, why lying makes our lives so unenjoyable, and why she doesn’t care that coaching isn’t an industry for everyone.

Today on the show we have Tim Urban. Tim’s TED talk - Inside the mind of a master procrastinator - is now the third most watched TED talk in the world - totalling over 65 million views. Tim is also one of the internet’s most thought provoking writers, he started his blog Wait But Why - originally as an attempt to exercise his creative side, only to find it resonated with many many others.
Wait But Why’s longform articles have since attracted millions of views, and over 700,000 subscribers. He is famous for his long form essays on everything from The Fermi Paradox and intelligent aliens, to why we should spend more time with our parents. He's also about to release a new book called What's Our Problem?: A Self-Help Book for Societies.
Tim is a lesson in how you can build a career following your own weird and wonderful curiosity. We talk less about his interests and more about his process; how he started and grew Wait But Why, how he structures his writing process, how he manages his procrastination and why he thinks there is no objectively cool job. I hope you enjoy!

Today on the show we have James Fox, the founder of Prison Yoga Project.
Yoga changed the course of James’ life, and in 2002, he started his own organisation - Prison Yoga Project - a programme to teach trauma informed yoga and bring yoga and mindfulness to prisons. 70% of prisoners return to the community there is a 76% re-arrest rate within the first 5 years. Prison Yoga Project supports incarcerated people with trauma-informed yoga and mindfulness. Their goal is to help reduce reoffending and providing a more humane experience for incarcerated people. James also has written a book about yoga and sent thousands of copies to prisoners who have requested them.
He began the programme in the US, in San Quentin, and has now brought the practice global - from the U.K., to Mexico to Australia.
In this episode, we talk about the male role complex, how trauma is stored in the body, and why everyone should support yoga in prison if they want a safer and more humane society.
If you’re interested in supporting Prison Yoga Project - they run a book program, which supplies a free book to any inmate who requests one. If you’re interested in a trauma-informed approach to yoga instruction, you can train with Prison Yoga Project. Just head to PrisonYoga.org.

Today on the podcast we have Ella Mils, the founder of Deliciously Ella.
Ella started Deliciously Ella - a blog for plant based recipes - over ten years ago when she was still at university. Having been diagnosed with a chronic condition, and being in and out of hospital with drugs having no meaningful impact, she turned to the internet.
Originally she started the blog as just a personal project - but she eventually released it to the public - gaining over 130 million hits within the next few years. Buoyed by this success, she launched an app, which went straight to #1 in the UK app store for food & drink , thanks to the growing online community she is so known for today. Her debut cook book became the best-selling debut cookbook of all time in the UK.
Together with her husband Matt, she has grown the business even further - expanding into a deli which is now their flagship restaurant, as well as many new food products listed in places like Waitrose, Starbucks, Tesco and Sainsburys.
We talk about why building moments of calm is so important, what people get wrong about plant based diet, her skin care routine, and why she doesn’t want to be famous. I hope you enjoy!

Today on the podcast we have Kevin Kelly - the founding editor of Wired Magazine. He co-founded Wired in 1993, and served as its Executive Editor for its first 7 years. He's also:
-Written a New York Times bestseller on technology and written books on the economy and on decentralization.

- Founded the popular Cool Tools website in 2003, which has published a cool tool every day for past 18 years.

Kevin Kelly also has another side project - spanning over the past 50 years - where he has travelled to 35 Asian countries photographing the disappearing cultural traditions - and recently he put his curated works in a book called ‘Vanishing Asia’.
Today we talk about everything from how and why he writes (and why he’s different from Neil Stephenson, the author of Snowcrash, who has to write every day). We also talk about why he’s interested in crypto and projects that don’t make sense, why he believes the centre of gravity of culture will move to Asia, why becoming too big as a company or too good at a skill holds you back, and why he wants to be a youtube star. I hope you enjoy!

How does one West Virginian farmer, suspecting foul play and seeking justice, win against one of the largest chemical companies in the world?
With the help of someone called Robert Bilott.
Today on the show, we have Rob Bilott, described by the New York Times as 'DuPont's worst nightmare' - the lawyer whose story was turned into a Hollywood turned into the film starring Mark Rufalo and Anne Hathaway.
Rob is a corporate defence lawyer, who started this case as a small side project - a favour to a farmer from his local area. What he ended up uncovering was one of the biggest cover ups in America. He found that DuPont had been knowingly dumping toxic chemicals into our water, chemicals which are now found in 99% of all living creatures on this earth - and are linked to 6 diseases and birth defects.

Today on the podcast we have Ben Branson, founder of Seedlip - the world's first distilled non-alcoholic spirit.
Ben grew up with a a father who worked in design, and a mother from a farming family. He started Seedlip originally not from a business opportunity, but because he was curious about what he could do - and whether he could actually finish a project. He was curious to tinker with plants, and learn, and have a creative outlet experimenting with the natural world.
He officially started Seedlip in 2015: inspired by nature, and on a new mission to change the way the world drinks by solving the question of what to drink when you’re not drinking. Seedlip has since turned into a global success. He’s had investment from drinks giant Diageo, it’s in thousands of the top bars and restaurants across the world - including London’s Savoy Hotel, and Soho House, and he’s brokered partnerships like the Chelsea Flower show and also met David Attenborough.
We talk about why he thinks it’s important to know your strengths, why you should trust your dreams, why your business should serve you as much as you serve the business, and why he hates it w hen someone says ‘hey we should get a drink sometime’.
