3.0 Words is back for another season exclusively on Amazon Music.

The lowest people to bring in three words of meaning and significance to their lives.

And we use that as a springboard for conversation.

So that's 3.0 Words. We've made John Bishop and Tony Pitts listen to it every Friday exclusively on Amazon Music.

Welcome to the weekend edition of the Daily Stood.

Each weekday we bring you a meditation inspired by the ancient Stood.

Something to help you live up to those four Stood. Virtues of Courage, Justice, Temperance and Wisdom.

Mudwater rest is a caffeine-free blend to promote a state of calm, so you can get the kind of sleep that will make you wake up and high five or pillow, wouldn't that be nice?
