209 - How To Be More Human With Justin Schuman May 12, 2025

Social media has moved on so much since this podcast was last in the world three years ago, and Justin’s a person who’s owning it and can teach us how to really show up online in a way which is open and honest. Talking to him has shown me that I need to be more brave - he was a great interviewee and I hope you get a lot out of this too.

206 - Close the App, Make the Ting with Elijah Apr 28, 2025

Show notes

Elijah

Elijah is founder of the Yellow Squares, a project he uses to share thoughts, ask questions, and start debates. I knew I needed to interview him when I saw a square (which became the title of his new book): Close The App, Make The Ting. This is a really insightful chat - he has a similar mindset to me and it was fascinating to pick his brains about everything - so listen, then close your apps, and make something.
