This week is a solo episode—no guest joining me.

I turned 40 years old on June 19, 2020. The night before, Lady O suggested I do a Top 40 list to mark the occasion.

That night I stayed up till 2:30am writing 40 Pieces of Life Advice for 20-Year Old Me. The piece is likely to be the most helpful article I’ve written to date. At least judging by the number of readers in the first week and positive feedback I’ve received.

Many readers sent messages asking me to expound on the advice, which I’ve done here in this week’s episode.
