ABOUT US

‘The Best Bits From The Best Books’. That’s what we deliver with our weekly podcast. Now we’re doing it at epic proportions in our 680+ page, 170k+ word behemoth of a book.

We started the show back in June 2016 with four listeners: Ashto, Jonesy, and our mums. We really didn’t know what we were doing, but we just decided to hit ‘record’, then 20 minutes later we hit ‘stop’ and uploaded it to share with the world. We learnt as we went, getting better with each episode, making gradual improvements over time. Today, we’re spending somewhere in the realm of a combined ~25-30 hours for every episode: reading, dissecting, taking notes, making episode plans, recording, editing, writing blog posts, publishing, and sharing.

After 5 years of iterating, we’ve found our own unique style of letting our audience be entertained, whilst efficiently delivering the powerful lessons contained in books. We’ve taken that same style and applied it to the written word in our first book: The Shit They Never Taught You.
