Summary

Writer and podcast chart-topping sensation, Elizabeth Day is Katie's guest this week. On her podcast ‘How To Fail’, Elizabeth meets guests ranging from Phoebe Waller Bridge to Alistair Campbell to Lily Allen, breaking down how they’ve learned from their personal failures. The podcast led to her Sunday Times bestseller book, also called How To Fail, and in October she released her latest book ‘Failosophy: a handbook for when things go wrong’. As we move into a year where things will continue to not go as planned, Elizabeth is the perfect guest to start 2021. In this episode, Elizabeth discusses how she took ownership of failures in her life, sharing how she learned to let go of her 5-year-plan, and explains how we can employ her ’seven key principles of failure’ in our own lives.
