Excellent!
What a wonderful podcast! The Logic of Thriving fills a hole in my podcast life I didn’t know I had. The discussions are sincere, meaningful in the best of ways, and sprawling in an organic way that serves to hit on new ideas even within the framework of the day’s topic. For anyone looking to carve out some space in their day for introspection, this is exactly the right place to start.
