Summary
To kick off, I asked back one of our most cherished guests of all time: the inimitable Mo Gawdat. As regular listeners of How To Fail know, Mo first appeared on this podcast way back in season four. His interview blew my mind and changed how I lived my life. I asked him back during the first Covid-19 lockdown to help us navigate our way through the crisis. And now, here he is again: my very special friend, on how to handle anxiety, how to cope with grief (and keep on living through unimaginable loss), how to be happy and how to lean into love.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to How to Fail with Elizabeth Day. The podcast that celebrates the things |
| 0:19.2 | that haven't gone right. This is a podcast about learning from our mistakes and understanding |
| 0:25.5 | that why we fail ultimately makes us stronger because learning how to fail in life actually means |
| 0:32.5 | learning how to succeed better. I'm your host, author and journalist Elizabeth Day, and every |
| 0:38.4 | week I'll be asking a new interviewee what they've learned from failure. I'm so delighted |
| 0:44.8 | that this evening's recording is sponsored by Sweaty Betty. I'm sure many of you in the |
| 0:50.0 | audience, especially that person, will already be familiar with this global active wear and lifestyle |
| 0:55.9 | brand who are on a mission to empower women through fitness and beyond. I personally wear their clothes |
| 1:01.6 | all the time and I'm a massive fan of their best-selling power leggings. So good that they sell one pair |
| 1:07.8 | every 30 seconds. I love the way they make me feel held and empowered with four-way stretch for |
| 1:13.6 | extra comfort. They're so versatile you can wear them for almost anything, a spin class, a yoga session, |
| 1:19.6 | or act lunch with friends. There's lots of clever little details like pockets I can slip my phone |
| 1:24.6 | into. They are bum sculpting, sweat wicking and quick drying. Truly everything you could ever |
| 1:30.1 | need in a pair of leggings. You have a chance to get 20% of everything until the 14th of December |

| 1:51.9 | Now it is such a joy to welcome you all to my first ever live How to Fail podcast recording. |
| 2:07.5 | And when I was thinking of who I wanted to be my first guest there was only ever really going |
| 2:12.4 | to be one person. That person of course is Mo Gadad. He is someone who has transformed the way |
| 2:20.4 | I live my life and I know he's transformed many of yours too through his enlightened and practical |
| 2:27.2 | wisdom. He first came on How to Fail in season four in 2019. Back then he had just published his |
| 2:34.0 | soon to be bestselling book Soul for Happy and when he spoke to me about his algorithm for happiness |
