Greg James: Stop sleepwalking through life! Find your childlike self-belief
About this episode
What did you love doing when you were 10 years old? Broadcaster Greg James reckons we all need to prioritise fun and silliness more, and thinking about your childhood passions is a great place to start.
In this chat, Fearne and Greg talk about how bleak, boring, and anxiety-inducing being a responsible grown up can be sometimes, and why that means it’s vital to choose to laugh every day.
Greg also explains why it’s important to stop and ask yourself if you really want to get married, have kids, or earn lots of money, or if you’re sleepwalking into someone else’s vision of a perfect life.
Plus, why did 21 year old Greg think he had a chance with Fearne when he first arrived at Radio 1...?
Greg’s book, All The Best For The Future, is out now.
