#139 Three questions to bring meaning to your life with David Baker

If you’ve been following the podcast for a while, you’ll know that David Baker is one of my (and your!) favourite guests ever. In fact, he has so much brilliant insight to share that I invited him back for a fourth time.

During our conversation, David pulled out a tiny notebook containing three handwritten questions.

Want to know what they are? They might make a surprising difference to your life, so click the thumbnail and dive right in.

Now, in the past we’ve talked a lot about the world of work, and David covers this in his usual sparkling style. But this time, we delve deeper into questions which affect us all in our personal lives too. 

You’ll find out why David finds Jewish rituals particularly helpful, and what you can take away from them too. 

You’ll hear David’s story about how to support someone who’s lost a loved one.

You’ll hear David’s struggles with sustainable travel and his conscience.

And together we’ll explore why building a community across all ages is so vital if we’re going to be brave enough to be vulnerable and truly grow.

If your New Year’s resolutions are waning, or you didn’t make any, you will find this conversation a refreshingly inspiring alternative.

As ever, conversations are more powerful if they’re shared so if you enjoyed this one, please spread the word. Want to share your answers to David’s three questions? Go ahead and tag me on social, I’m listening.
