I was so lost when I was in working in investment banking, and even more lost when I left the job. But feeling lost can be an opportunity rather than a setback, in this episode, we talk about why.

RANT: Relying on AI to express human emotions risks creating a world where expressions of gratitude become hollow tokens rather than heartfelt acknowledgments of kindness and support. But it's depriving the sender of something extremely important, even more than it's depriving the reciever.

I nearly stepped in dog shit. I felt both irritated, and strangely grateful—for the chance to feel anything at all. Imagine a choice: live as a human, with a chaotic range of emotions, or exist as a brick, devoid of feeling. For me, it’s clear. Against all odds, we’re here, conscious, capable of feeling, good or bad. It's better than not feeling anything.

We're all drowning in anxiety as the world holds its breath, caught up in the high-stakes drama of the election. Many of us feel powerless, our future hinging on the choices of others, and it’s entirely reasonable to be nervous about having someone in charge of the largest economy and military in the solar system whom we don't trust or respect. But, we don't have to let this paralyze us.

To simply call Shona Vertue a trainer would be doing her an incredible disservice. What sets Shona apart is a rigorous scientific understanding of not only the physical but also how the physical ties into the mental and spiritual aspects of our lives. This is why, when I say a holistic picture of health, I truly mean holistic.

Shona was an elite athlete who competed in gymnastics at the highest level, before moving into the personal training space where she worked with high profile clients, including David Beckam, to help them better understand their bodies, and her program the "Vertue Method" is practiced by thousands all around the world.

Can the pursuit of happiness through exercise tip into obsession, blurring the line between health and harm? This exploration dives into the highs and lows of athletic escapism—from the rush of a perfect game to the inevitable burnout—and questions whether the benefits of immersion in sport outweigh the cost of abandoning a balanced routine. Is true contentment found in simply doing what we love, or must we embrace discomfort to achieve a holistic, healthy life?
