His musings on the topic are both insightful and filled with his unique brand of humour. If you're looking for a mix of comedy, real-life struggles, and thought-provoking questions, this episode is a must-listen.
Boyle's honest and raw take on addiction, productivity, and relationships will leave you laughing, thinking, and maybe even re-evaluating your own life choices. So, why not take a break from your busy day and tune in? You might just find the inspiration you need to tackle your own challenges.
