How To Be

I sometimes think too many “Be a Better You” podcasts have come to feel like they’re made with the host(s) and high-profile influencers in mind rather than me. Not this one. Rory and Matt take on some meaty subjects and share their personal and funny conversations with us. Rather than a lesson or a lecture, each show feels like a friendly invitation to reflect on what matters most in my world. Try just one episode and I think you’ll be surprised—and hooked like I am.

Always love the topics and conversation

How To Be is a sharp change of theme, focus and perspective from most other podcasts I regularly follow. Rory and Matt's conversations on philosophy, wellness, lifestyle trends and personality strike a rare tone of intelligent, engaging discourse without any off-putting notes of the pretentious, the smug or the cynical. I appreciate well-wielded snark, but they don't rely on it and it's a refreshing change. They seem open, honest and curious about every topic they explore. They're funny, they know how to laugh at themselves, and their dialogue benefits from the intimacy of what is clearly a longstanding friendship. This show is a wholesome antidote to the twin poisons of pessimism and self-seriousness.

Love listening to these two friends chat!
