About This Podcast

One big question at a time. Explored, untangled, and (possibly) solved. Self-improvement is everywhere but most of it's overly simplistic, shouty, and backed by vibes, not evidence. I'm Ed Stott, former BBC & ABC journalist turned independent audio doco maker, obsessed with figuring out how to live better. (That obsession once led to 50 stand-up gigs in 6 months… but more on that later.) Each month, I tackle one big, messy life question like "What's my purpose?" or "Should I quit my job?" and get real answers from the world's sharpest minds. No fluff. Just big ideas, explored creatively, to help you make sense of your life.
