Learn from failures to succeed better

How To Fail With Elizabeth Day

How To Fail is a podcast that celebrates the things that haven’t gone right.

Elizabeth is having a guest every week and together they explore three failures and discuss what a guest has learn from them.

Elizabeth is a very courageous woman who was very honest with herself and the world to tell us her failures in book How To Fail: Everything I’ve Ever Learned From Things Going Wrong

I’m a huge fan of this podcast which unveils the truth that success never comes without failures in an open and friendly conversation.

S20, Ep17 Dame Arlene Phillips – ‘I know the power of love’ How To Fail With Elizabeth Day

Oh my. I can’t tell you how moving I found this interview. That doesn’t mean it’s a weepy one – sometimes, the most powerful exchanges are the ones where you witness the sheer strength it takes someone *no*t to cry. Dame Arlene Phillips is defined by her strength: strength of mind and of body (at 80, she’s still hard at work as a hit choreographer). You’ll know her as an internationally celebrated jazz and musical theatre legend, who has worked on some of the biggest-selling musicals in West End and Broadway theatre, as well as a number of blockbuster movies. But you might not know she lost her mum to leukaemia when she was just 15, had a challenging upbringing and had her second baby when she was 47 years old (she thought the pregnancy symptoms were signs of perimenopause).  Then in 2008, Dame Arlene was unceremoniously dropped as a judge from Strictly Come Dancing amid accusations of ageism. She only found out when it was reported on the next day’s radio news. We talk frankly about how this affected her – and how she’s never had an apology from the BBC. We also discuss Dame Arlene’s failure to become a ballerina and how this made her feel about her body, her fear of flying and her past inability to stand up for herself. WHAT. A. WOMAN. As always, I’d LOVE to hear about your failures. Every week, my guest and I choose a selection to read out and answer on our special subscription offering, Failing with Friends. We’ll endeavour to give you advice, wisdom, some laughs and much, much more.  Have something to share of your own? I'd love to hear from you!

Is never too much of personal development

The Richard Nicholls Podcast

Richard brings on quite important questions you might ask yourselves every day, like accepting yourself, external validation, guilt, fear or introversion.

Richard will gently and friendly nudge you and leave with those questions to think at you own time. Don’t worry it’s not that heave as it sounds, it’s nice.

Let’s have a break and have fun

99% Invisible

99% Invisible is talking about design things in a very funny and informative way. It’s not only about design, but also about those matters which often are not explained or invisible to us. Like why there are buttons on men suit or that Oscar Wilde was one of the most well-dressed writers at all times.

There are different topics to listen through and I am sure it will be pleasure to explore something you live with but never ponder.

582- Rocket Man 99% Invisible

In the twentieth century, the jetpack became synonymous with the idea of a ‘futuristic society.’ Appearing in cartoons and magazines, it felt like a matter of time before people could ride a jetpack to work. But jetpacks never became a mainstream technology, leaving many to wonder… why did they fall off the radar? 582- Rocket Man

No Such Thing As A Fish

Did you ever thought about whether vaseline can float? Did you know that an owl eats other owls and they can swim as well? Yep, me neither.

This podcast is an utter fun and get ready to laugh throughout whole episode. You’ll be fascinated about topics the podcast authors will share with you.

I love this one especially on Friday night to let all work related thoughts go and gradually roll into weekend.

Connections, courage, vulnerability and more

Unlocking Us With Brené Brown

First I get to know Brené (virtually of course) when I read her book Daring Greatly and I felt in love with subjects she’s been researching for such a long time – vulnerability, shame and empathy. It’s thought-provoking and deeply honest conversations. Conversations about things we usually avoid talking or even thinking.
