I'm Glad You Exist John Liot

On today's episode of IGYE I'm joined by my good friend, intrepid educator, film buff and general lovely soul, Laura Dawn.

Laura lives in South Korea, where she works as an English teacher in a primary school. In this chat, we talk all about what it means to upend your life and travel half-way around the world to find your own sense of fulfilment and meaning.

OH DAMN, it doesn't get much more personally special for me as far as guests go!

Michael Swaim is a professional author, comedian, actor and podcaster. He became the face of the website Cracked.com during its hey-day, the popularity of which allowed him to branch off and create his own podcast network Small Beans (which can be found wherever you listen to podcasts). 

Michael is a genuine creative hero of mine so it was an honour to chat to him about his career, his new book 'The Climb' and being scared of death.

You can find all of Michael's important info, as well as links to his book via the Small Beans patreon, patreon.com/smallbeans

James (Jay) Du Heaume is a professional musician currently living and working in London. He's been a good friend of mine for a number of years. His pilgrimage from Jersey to find success as a musician is one I keep a close eye on and feel passionate about supporting. Many people try, few people succeed. Lift up your friends when they try to pursue their dreams.

In this chat, we talk about how Jay's career is turning out, the lessons along the way and what defining success will mean to him.

BACK FROM BEYOND THE PODCAST GRAVE!

But for real, just a big ol' hiatus whilst I got some life stuff sorted.

Big episode today - we're going familiar with my own family, my big brother, Dan Liot.

Dan is on instagram as @jerseysoberwalker and has become an influencer and promoter within the sober scene in Jersey. He's been sober for over 1700 days now and we're chatting about where that came from, the struggles along the way and what the future looks like for him.
