About this Episode

Tune in to an Anti-Motivational Motivational Speech. We need a Sherpa to guide us up the treacherous Himalayan Mountains; but do we really need self-professed Social Media Sherpas (motivational speakers, life coaches, Youtube influencers etc) to guide us through life? In Episode 2, THOUGHT Bank explores the power of self-awareness and the powerful forces of manipulation and linguistic trickery.

Popsicles & Purple Dildos

Dieting on Diets

2,333 hours a month or more just of podcasts pushing one diet or another. Clearly we eat more food than we digest knowledge! Though we seem to have an insatiable appetite to digest intellectual carbs about the best way to stop eating carbs (or to eat more carbs, depending who’s your social media guru). In Episode 3 of THOUGHT Bank, we take a look at the absurdity of eating and dieting trends.
