#10 - Why the sh*t journey is the better one
Let’s not beat about the bush. The year 2020 was a truly shit one. Like, a proper festival of crap. All aboard the bus to existential purgatory.

Here, I explain why, and why I believe there’s much more to be learned from this, as opposed to yet another goal for January.
