Moment 39 - Jimmy Carr: The Truth About ...

DOAC
About this episode

In these ‘Moment’ episodes of my podcast, I’ll be selecting my favourite moments from previous episodes of The Diary Of A CEO. Jimmy Carr needs no introduction and is one of the biggest names in British comedy. Jimmy has hardly been off our screens for the last two decades. But what people may not know is that Jimmy has another side to him. When he was in mid-20s, Jimmy was in a boring office job, without much joy or direction in his life. But he set himself on a journey of self-improvement. Out of nowhere, he decided to quit and start again, the rest, as they say, is history. Hard work is something that in our society has developed a reputation for being toxic but what really is the truth about hard work? In this weeks moment episode Jimmy talks to us about the myths of hard work, this 'toxic' narrative and the importance of woking hard vs working smart. Episode 106 - https://g2ul0.app.link/AWljby1dzmb Jimmy: https://www.jimmycarr.com/ https://www.youtube.com/user/jimmycarrfans https://twitter.com/jimmycarr Watch the episodes on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheDiaryOfACEO/videos
