Welcome to Episode 001 of The Mental Ledge. A new podcast exploring resilience, reinvention, creativity and the psychology of rebuilding a meaningful life.
The Mental Ledge is a podcast for people navigating change, rebuilding themselves, or searching for a more meaningful path forward.
In this first episode, I speak with Simon Woodroffe - founder of YO! Sushi, YOTEL and former Dragon’s Den investor - about instinct, risk, failure, reinvention, difficult periods in life, starting again, and the lessons success never teaches you.
Topics include:
- Failure & reinvention
- Trusting instinct
- Starting again after setbacks
- Ambition & fulfilment
- Life after success
- Resilience through uncertainty
- Creativity, risk & identity
- Advice for difficult periods in life
These conversations sit alongside the documentary TOXSICK - a wider project exploring healing, adversity, systems, identity and what drives human beings forward through uncertainty.
