What does it actually take to build a successful life?

Not just financially or professionally. A genuinely successful life.

In this episode we discuss the five foundations that we believe sit underneath long-term success:


  • Commitment
  • Health
  • Family
  • Faith
  • Purpose

The conversation explores why talent eventually runs out, why commitment matters more than motivation, how health underpins everything else, and why people need a tribe around them if they want to thrive over the long term.


We also spend time on one of the more difficult topics, faith. Not necessarily faith in religion, but faith in something. Faith in yourself, your family, your future, your community, or the belief that tomorrow can be better than today.


We discuss starting a business, overcoming fear, volunteering, building purpose when you feel lost, a new study into anxiety, Court of Unpopular Opinion, open-plan offices, government spending, boredom, social media and why modern life seems increasingly designed to keep us distracted.


We are always surprised how much ground we cover.


In Short:


  • Entrepreneurship and risk
  • Commitment and resilience
  • Health and performance
  • Family and community
  • Faith and belief
  • Purpose and meaning
  • Volunteering and contribution
  • Anxiety research
  • Open-plan offices
  • Economic challenges
  • Technology and attention
  • Modern life and fulfilment
