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

And I think he was one of those people that we love music, played the same songs, just talked about girlfriends, failed at them, ate together, drank together.

So yeah, I was at school with him.

But I definitely like the loss of him.

You know, we all have, everyone has losses.

And I think part of you goes the bit that you, I think we're different with every, every person we're close to, they see a different side of us.

And so that was, you know, I think him a lot still.

You have these sort of salient, cataclysmic moments in your life where something happens.

And I then, for some reason, ended up, you know, getting a lift to London, never been before.

And the combination in it, I started crying.

And the music and the drawing helped me.

And I haven't really stopped since.
