14 OCT 2019 · “Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety. Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in. Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

And you're an idiot!"

15 NOV 2018 · TDiO Founder Carl Munson talks to life-long friend 'Jonny' about the can of worms that is masculinity and what it is to be a man in our times. Did he say "movies"? Or "boobies"? Expect frank discussion about parenting, affection, being a father, crying, work, identity, culture, gender roles, stereotypes, suicide, competition, celebrity, penises, moisturizing and, eventually, the most interesting point made here: what is the biggest, best or first thing you should say to another man? #iamnotincompetitionwithyou
