Be Better, Stupid
The podcast is self-help for people who hate self-help. That is to say, it’s for people looking to improve their lives, but can’t stand the popular methods of doing so. My listeners see the bullshit so prominent in the personal development world, AND because they want to better themselves. They know that they’re not Oprah, and won’t be, but they still want to be better versions of themselves. I am my listeners. I’m nothing special on my own either. I’m just a guy obsessed with figuring this all out. So I provide ideas about personal development, but I don’t stop there. I question myself—what has worked, and what hasn’t, and I seek out the opinions of others—not gurus with books to sell, but real people like you and me as they’ve applied principles to their real lives. Let’s explore the real ways to do this together.
