Have you ever thought why is it that my friends, colleagues, and acquaintances can do so much more than me? Well if you have, you're not alone. From confidence, persistence, motivation, to resilience - these life skills can help us go a long way in believing in ourselves. Not to mention, we live in a polarised world where conversations have broken down, so we've opened a space for those difficult chats.
We will try examine the tips and guides out there to see if it can help. Whilst I am no expert by any means, I have lived experience of feeling different and misunderstood, so hopefully we can take this path of enhancement together. PS. I do not receive commission for the books and guides reviewed.

Season 3: Wuthering Heights. It's a love story? Who knows
Season 4: American Tragedy. Also a potential title of this podcast

Liz Scully spent 20 years working on big Hollywood films - she’s won an Emmy and her work is multi-Oscar nominated.
She travelled the world working with massive Visual FX teams + worked far too many weekends so film directors got their perfect shot.
Now, she's a business strategist and a Mastermind coach and she'll help you do equally spectacular things with your business.
Growth is all about having a clear and simple strategy where each daily task moves the whole business along in many areas. She’s here to help you earn more, work less and have much more fun in your business.
She’s created training on how to run the most effective Mastermind groups on the planet (humans really are better together). And with Evil Coach strategy, training so good, it’s not only effective but actually entertaining. Very rare.
Liz is a fully fledged book nerd + reads a couple of books a day. She’s sifted through them to find the most effective books for you + your biz.
Plus she’s bringing in many of her pals from her days in advertising, commercials, media and speaking - to get you the very best conversation + primo book recommendations.
She's Irish, nomadic and as confused as everyone else why she has an English accent.

Book Podcasts
A great way to understand and find a new opinion or persepective on the book you are reading is by listening to book podcasts! We all know that reading is a solitary activity, but it doesn't have to be. In fact, many of us love nothing more than talking about our favorite books with fellow book lovers. That's why book podcasts have become so popular.
With so many book podcasts out there, it can be hard to find one that really stands out. The truth is, the books podcasts genre is in need of some serious innovation. Author interviews can be inspiring, but let's face it, they often turn into the same old conversations about the writing process and book promotion. And too many shows feature the same guests promoting the same books.
