The Hammer You Use to Smash Your Old Lif...

Chris Gethard
About this episode

In classic Beautiful/Anonymous fashion, this week's caller is in a major transition phase of his life, leaving behind a lucrative career in favor of something less soul-sucking. He talks with Gethard about ghostwriting blog posts for International Women's Day, what makes a good teacher, and why connection and community are more important than ever.
