E092 - The Guaranteed Way to Live Your Best Life as a Man | Chris Williamson

Returning face and old friend Chris Williamson is back on the show to unpack the real cost of chasing self-improvement—and the trade-offs few people talk about.
While the internet makes optimisation look effortless, Chris shares how his own journey has been marked by burnout, loneliness, and the pressure to always do more.
He questions the myth that productivity equals purpose, and dives into the importance of slowing down, feeling safe in your body, and building a life that’s actually enjoyable—not just efficient.
If you’re wired for growth but feeling stretched thin, this one’s a thoughtful reset.
