Bored and Brilliant with Manoush Zomorodi
We can’t believe our luck - we got time, albeit a short amount of time, but we got time with THE Manoush Zomorodi - podcast queen, entrepreneur, and, at least for today, our guru of boredom. Listen to Manoush talk to Becky and Ben about the power of boredom, bored and brilliant challenges you can try, and ways to embrace your own brilliance.
