Summary

Send us a text Back in 1995 when britpop ruled the charts and the UN designated it The United Nations Year for Tolerance, British Telecom started a friends and family service to make it cheaper to call a handful of your favourite people with the slogan It's Good To Talk.

0:00.0	And hello to you and welcome to the Richard Nichols podcast, the Personal Development
0:07.8	podcast series that's here to help inspire, educate and motivate you to be the best you can be.

1:15.5	Well, I mean, maybe you are, but if everyone who said they were fine actually was, we wouldn't also have 8% of everybody in the UK meeting the diagnostic criteria

1:31.5	honest about that, do we? And I get that there's a time and a place. And to be fair, the middle
1:37.2	aisle of Aldi amongst all the menagerie of power tools and minion toys is probably not the best
1:42.7	place to say, you know what, I've been better, mate.
