For this episode I spoke with a previous guest: Gavin Oattes who is a motivational speaker and best-selling author. His new book is A Head Full of Everything which is aimed at teenagers with the world on their mind. We spoke about being a teenager, our experiences, mental health, productivity, finding meaning and how to be bored.
