How To Fail With Elizabeth Day · Charlie Mackesy – ‘Grief propelled me into work that saved me’ · 8 Jul 2026 podcast

I had a brilliant therapist once, who was actually an ex-Franciscan monk.

And he said, when people tell you their weight, their sadness, anything, their failings, whatever it is they tell you, treat it like someone's giving you gold.

And my best friend at the time said,

Salews, I suppose.

In my heart was Jamie, who was killed in his car, I think six months later.

And he just looked at me and he had tears pouring down his face.

And I looked at him and then I had tears pouring down my face.

And I held his hand and then gave him a hug.

And we never spoke.

Did I say that?

Thank you for having me.

I'm mainly feeling quite sweaty because this isn't the hottest day in 100 years.

Does the temperature affect the sound?

I'm not sure.

It's a bit like when you are a bit uncomfortable with something and you realise at some point that it's a song that you don't like is playing.

So it happens.

We go, oh, that, yeah.

So when, I don't know, but I think...

It's this kind of, it's an undercurrent, isn't it?

Yes.
