Elizabeth Day on Failure

Welcome back to Good Influence!

This is the podcast where each week we'll meet a guest who’ll help us pay attention to something we should know about, but maybe don’t. 

This week, we're talking about failure; how our cultural conversations around failure have changed, the failures we relate to the most, and how perspectives on failure from older people can teach us lessons while we're young. 

Elizabeth Day is an author, journalist and broadcaster. She hosts the hugely popular podcast 'How to Fail with Elizabeth Day', in which she examines life's supposed failures with her guests and reflects on how these failures affect change us. Her latest novel, Magpie, is out on the second of September and has been described as a tense, twisting story of jealousy, motherhood and power.
